-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1I've been messing with the driver more with more debugging info. I think the underlying problem actually comes from GnuPG which I was using to test the entropy with; its not reading from /dev/random (it looks like Debian is building the package without a /dev/random as a source). I rebuilt gpg using Debian's options, and it successfully generating a new key, but still not reading from /dev/random; its possible that the configure script GnuPG uses beleives that Hurd doesn't have a random so it simply setup GPG to use it.

Hi, I don't get this part:/* Setup the offset pointer to add data */ offset = entropy_write_offset + 1; if (offset + sizeof(unsigned long) == ENTROPYBUFSIZE) { offset = 0; }Why the +1 ? You sure that's really what you want?... -antrik-
