rng-tools

Daemon to use a Hardware TRNG. The rngd daemon acts as a bridge between a Hardware TRNG (true random number generator) such as the ones in some Intel/AMD/VIA chipsets, and the kernel's PRNG (pseudo-random number generator).

ToDo

Here is the output of grep -R PATH_MAX rng-tools-2-unofficial-mt.14/*:

viapadlock_engine.c:static char cpudev_path[PATH_MAX+1];
viapadlock_engine.c:char devpath[PATH_MAX+1];

Comments

Work in progress, see related thread.

Even if the PATH_MAX can be easily fixed, some problems remain.
The code uses linux/types.h, that has to be replaced by sys/types.h, but also uses linux/random.h which has no equivalent I know of.
At least one source file is named after the OS: rngd_linux.c.
