Output rngd -V and -l
The output of rngd -V and rngd -l.
The configure script of rng-tools checks the following:
> AM_CONDITIONAL([RDRAND], [test $target_cpu = x86_64 -o $target_cpu = i686])
> AS_IF([test $target_cpu = x86_64 -o $target_cpu = i686], [AC_DEFINE([HAVE_RDRAND],1,[Enable RDRAND])],[])
Since we are i586, support for RDRAND is disabled.
I will send a patch shortly.
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=fd0a0384f07b399e9cb4cf46b4c5722b809ffe6a This was a problem in rng-tools. Unfortunately the maintainer of rng-tools has rejected the patch because he does not understand that i586 is compatible with modern processors. That means that we will have to carry this patch ourselves. |
