Re: best way to create entropy?

[Sander Steffann <sander () steffann nl>]

Hi,

When you let OpenSSH use the egd protocol directly it will get its entropy from an egd daemon. Otherwise it uses 
/dev/random. When you use ekeyd-egd-linux then you feed the entropy from the egd daemon to the pool used for 
/dev/random. That way you are not completely dependent on the egd daemon, and other applications that need entropy 
benefit from the better-filled pool.

And yes, I run ekeyd-egd-linux on many VMs :-)
