NAME¶
eb_client_egd - export entropy data as egd server
DESCRIPTION¶
eb_client_egd v1.0, (C) 2009-2012 by folkert@vanheusden.com Egd-clients can use
the /tmp/egd.sock unix domain socket. This should work with at least OpenSSL:
start eb_client_egd with one of the following parameters: -d /var/run/egd-pool
or -d /dev/egd-pool or -d /etc/egd-pool or -d /etc/entropy To verify that
client_egd functions, run: "openssl rand -rand /var/run/egd-pool -out
/tmp/bla 10". It should return something like "255 semi-random bytes
loaded" where "255" should be > 0. If it is zero, check if
the current user has enough rights to access the /var/run/egd-pool file.
- -i host eb-host to connect to
- -d file UNIX-domain socket to listen on
- -l file log to file 'file'
- -s log to syslog
- -n do not fork
- -P file file to write the PID to
- -X file file to read the password from
