Increase entropy on a 2.6 kernel linux box
Mon, 2008-10-13 16:35 — chrisA good source of entropy is needed for random number generation. This affects services that go via SSL amongst other things.
However - in 2.6.x kernels the entropy sources of a system were reduced - as far as I can see it now is only affected by keyboard, mouse and some IRQ interrupts.
