Use Case I have several headless computers. Their only source of randomness is from the network. I also have a hardware true random number generator on another computer. I would like the headless computers to be able to access truly random numbers from a server - at the kernel level.
I would like a standard, built into the OS, so I get this improved source of randomness right from the very first install. I want the random numbers encrypted as they transit the network. Ssh already does this. Possible Solutions: 1 Spawn a userland program or script which uses ssh, obtains the random numbers, and then calls add_true_randomness(). 2 Configure the kernel with the IP address of the server, and an account name, and the kernel can obtain truly random numbers whenever it wants. What is the best way to achieve my goal? Thanks, Ken Hendrickson
