Actually, pretty much answered my own question doing a little research on the web. Intel has a hardware random number generator in their 8xx series motherboards (810, 815, etc). It's supposed to be a pretty solid number generator. Looks like the specs to access it are out there too. Does anybody know if freebsd supports the intel RNG? -----Original Message----- From: Shanon Fernald [mailto:sfernald@epicor.com] Sent: Monday, November 06, 2000 11:13 AM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Hardware random number generator Anyone have an experience with hardware random number generators with freebsd and/or recommendations for hardware/software? I'd rather not reinvent the wheel if there's already a good solution out there. Thanks.
