Only if you have an entropy estimate to go with it. It's still dubious, though: the guests own pool will do its own mixing, so you might as well pull from /dev/random in the host as being a genuine entropy source and only add what entropy is available. -hpa _______________________________________________ Virtualization mailing list Virtualization@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/virtualization
