Bug 447464 – sys-apps/rng-tools-4-r3 - find_rng_device should be find_device in init.d file

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Toralf Förster 2012-12-16 14:00:32 UTC]

a change between r1 nad r3 is wrong - the string "find_rng_device" should be replaced by "find_device"

The reporter told us on IRC he experienced the output:

> /etc/init.d/rngd: line 28: find_rng_device: command not found
>  * Starting rngd ...
>  /usr/sbin/rngd: option '--rng-device' requires an argument
>  Try `rngd --help' or `rngd --usage' for more information.

Uhm let me fix this. It worked here because I guess there's nothing to be found anyway (rdrand in use).

Thanks for reporting, now it should work.

And indeed it worked fine for both TPM and RDRAND cases — which is all I had at hand.

FWIW I catched this bug within a running user mode linux image (unstable Gentoo) - at the stable Gentoo host system I just got (w/ DO_NOT_REMIX_URANDOM=1) :


# /etc/init.d/rngd start
