Hello,

the (4) random man page describes that kern.random.sys.seeded would not be=
=20
seen if the system has a hardware RNG. Now my chipset (i815) is supposed=20
to have one, also I have a box with a HIFN 7951, which, according to man=20
(4) hifn, also has a RNG, but I'm seeing the mentioned sysctls.
How can I test if my hw rng is used at all? I'd like to disable=20
entropy-harvesting on machines with hw rng.

Thanks,

=2DHarry
