Hi,

just a general question. Where does Omnios/Illumos get it's entropy from to feed /dev/random.

This is just out of curiosity since I can drain any /dev/random on e.g. a linux system (w/o a HWRNG) easily by doing:

$ cat /dev/random

But on OmniOS it is not possible to drain the entropy pool at all on /dev/random.

Thanks for any insights.
