Hello. I'm a distro maintainer and was wondering about the efficacy of entropy daemons like haveged and jitterentropyd in qemu-kvm. One of the authors of haveged [0] pointed out if the hardware cycles counter is emulated and deterministic, and thus predictible. He therefore does not recommend using HAVEGE on those systems. Is this the case with KVM's counters? PS. I will be setting VM CPU s...

Entropy jumped from ~130 bits to ~2000 bits thanks Note to anyone running a web server, or creating certs. You need entropy. Without it your keys are weak and attackable. Probably even known already.

I am use to low random entropy on my arm boards, not an intel. On my Lenovo x120e, cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail reports 3190 bits of entropy. On my armv7 with Centos7 I would get 130 unless I installed rng-tools and then I get ~1300. SSH into one and it drops back to 30! for a few minutes. Sigh. Anyway on my new Zotac nano ad12 with an AMD E-1800 duo core, I am seeing 180.

Hi, from time to time the IMAP login times out ... my external monitoring says "connection reset by peer (SSL)" and Thunderbird tries to connect forever. After a short while everything returns back to normal operation. The system resources are plenty, there are no error messages and no greedy background tasks running. I read a little about tweaking imap-login - but all the default

Hello list we encounter a weird SSL issue with one of our dovecot (2.2.24 on Centos6) which we can only explain if our assumtion is correct Symptoms are that imaps connections (on port 993) suddenly get veeeery slow. Up to 180s for one connection with openssl s_client The thing we do not understand is that in the same time imap connections with starttls are just 1s. We can see that entropy on the
