Is there an approved way to increase the speed at which the random pool
for /dev/random fills up? I'm playig with dnssec and getnerating 2k rsa
keys is taking up to 3 hours. I've been googling a bit and Intel x86_64
machines seem to have random number hardware built in (perhaps also
AMD???) Is there a way to funnel this into the entropy pool?
