Check the debian rng-tools. They feed the hardware random data to the kernel random pool. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/utils/rng-tools Otherwise I think you can specify the device that libgcrypt will use at compile time (of libgcrypt). -- Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos _______________________________________________ Help-gnutls mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnutls
