I've loaded the hw-random module on a rawhide system running the 2.6.8-1.525 kernel. Any process that reads /dev/hw_random (rngd or even "cat /dev/hw_random > /dev/null") is listed in "top" output as using 100% CPU time though an strace of the process shows it to be blocked on a read of /dev/hw_random. My hardware is a Thinkpad T41p with a 1.7G Pentium-M CPU. -- http://www.coker.com.au/selinux/ My NSA Security Enhanced Linux packages http://www.coker.com.au/bonnie++/ Bonnie++ hard drive benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/postal/ Postal SMTP/POP benchmark http://www.coker.com.au/~russell/ My home page
