Problem with /dev/random and rngd daemon
I'm now running two systems with Jeff's patches for pulling entropy from the host's /dev/random. The first host I boot comes up fine (successfully loads rngd). However, the second fails to load rngd. I 'm getting back a return code of '1' from the daemon (the rng-source is misbehaving) after a pause of 10 seconds. Any ideas?

Maybe the host /dev/random supports only one user at any given moment.

Inform me of my mistakes, so I can keep imitating Homer Simpson's "Doh!".

No, when I was testing it, I had concurrent dd if=/dev/random going on the host and UML to check that they got about the same amount of data.
