Hello all,

I believe I am hitting a problem on one of our Windows 2003 KVM guests were I believe it is running out of Entropy and causing SSL issues.

I see that there is a module called virtio-rng which I believe passes the HW entropy source through to the guest but does this work on Windows as-well ?


AFAIK there is no Windows driver for virtio-rng. Seems like a good idea. Vadim?

If it doesn't any ideas on how I can increase the amount of entropy being generated on a headless system ? or even monitor entropy on a Windows system ?

No idea. Maybe you could ask Windows to collect entropy from packet timings.
