[OmniOS-discuss] OmniOS/Illumos and entropy

[Dominik Hassler]

Hi,

just a general question. Where does Omnios/Illumos get it's entropy from 
to feed /dev/random.

This is just out of curiosity since I can drain any /dev/random on e.g. 
a linux system (w/o a HWRNG) easily by doing:

$ cat /dev/random

But on OmniOS it is not possible to drain the entropy pool at all on 
/dev/random.

Thanks for any insights.
