Description Manuel Rüger (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2012-10-17 01:45:38 UTC

Version 4 (August 2, 2012):
* Add RDRAND instruction support
* Add -q and -v options for quiet and verbose output
* Add -p option for specifying PID file (text file containing daemon's PID)
* Disable entropy source if facing continued failures, but be
  tolerant of the occasional fault.
* Default device is now the preferred /dev/hwrng
* Do not use TPM device for RNG access, if /dev/hwrng is present
  (TPM RNG is exported via the kernel, in newer kernels)
