Keep entropy pool full
Because most xbian users won't be using a keyboard or usb mouse, the /dev/random entropy pool can become very shallow very quickly. This is used by a lot of things, mainly crypto related, but also a lot of network management related to packet transmission timing.
This can be fixed really easily, by installing a low weight extra system service that gathers extra entropy data from unpredictable system events. Terminal sudo apt-get install haveged And the entropy pool will be kept full with more entropy gathering. |
