From a35142f9dcb21c96f08207fada56341d0ec8e20a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gokturk Yuksek Date: Tue, 22 Sep 2015 06:09:09 -0400 Subject: sys-apps/rng-tools: do not specify rng device in init script #481254 Linux hw_random driver provides a unified interface for multiple RNGs and the RNG source is exposed through /dev/hwrng device node. There is no need for the init script to look for other device nodes under /dev. By default, rngd uses /dev/hwrng as the entropy source, therefore it's not required to specify it on the command line explicitly. The creation of /dev/hwrng requires CONFIG_DEVTMPFS support in the kernel. Due to the way hw_random module is written, some device managers may fail to create /dev/hwrng successfuly. Mdev, for example, incorrectly creates /dev/hw_random instead of /dev/hwrng, mistaking module's own name for the device node's name (see related bug 561102). However, per gentoo wiki [1], CONFIG_DEVTMPFS is part of the mdev setup and these systems will have two device nodes (/dev/hw_random and /dev/hwrng) that point to the same device. Even in such setups, rngd will successfuly find /dev/hwrng.
