43 Entropy from /dev/random
44 ------------------------
45
46 The dropbear binary package is configured at compile time to read
47 entropy from /dev/random. If /dev/random on a system blocks when
48 reading data from it, client logins may be delayed until the client
49 times out. The dropbear server writes a notice to the logs when it
50 sees /dev/random blocking. A workaround for such systems is to
51 re-compile the package with DROPBEAR_RANDOM_DEV set to /dev/urandom
52 in options.h.
