rng-tools: fix init START

2021-02-20T07:58:19Z

We should be using "00" to deal with alphabetical order. Fixes: e9a126c14509 ("rng-tools: start as early as possible") Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas

rng-tools: start as early as possible

2021-02-19T19:25:27Z

Raspberry Pi devices (bcm2708) need this to get from: [ 102.310494] random: crng init done to: [ 12.539744] random: crng init done Signed-off-by: Álvaro Fernández Rojas

rng-tools: start rngd early enough to actually be useful

2017-02-03T05:52:50Z

lighttpd starts at priority 50, but promptly calls getrandom() on initialization (li_rand_reseed() and li_rand_device_bytes() from server_init()). If /dev/urandom (which getrandom() uses by default) doesn't have sufficient entropy, this will block. Since Openwrt runs the startup scripts serially, this can block initialization indefinitely. I've seen 15-20 minutes typically. Seeding the pool early on can quickly built sufficient entropy to complete booting without blocking. Signed-off-by: Philip Prindeville

rng-tools: Fixup Makefile and initscript

- typo in path of uci-defaults scripts - fix init script when there is no rngd config - convert init script to procd Signed-off-by: Stefan Hellermann

rng-tools: uci-fy, default to doing nothing

2016-10-31T17:17:57Z

Enabling the default configuration will pipe /dev/urandom back into /dev/random ala the current package behavior. Because this amounts to disabling the in-kernel entropy estimation, default disabled. While here, uci-paramaterize the high watermark. While here, add a pre-command hook for real RNGs that need 'stty raw' or other such hooks. (e.g. the TrueRNG devices) As offered in github openwrt/packages#3422, take over maintainership. See github openwrt/packages#3142. Signed-off-by: Nathaniel Wesley Filardo

rng-tools: Add description, remove unused parameter

2016-09-22T11:25:34Z

* Add description to both Makefile and init script that mentions the default of /dev/urandom as the entropy source. * Remove the deprecated interval parameter from init script. Signed-off-by: Hannu Nyman
