Doc Text A new way to gather randomness and fill the entropy pool very early at the boot time was introduced in the kernel of the RHEL-8.3. This means there is generally enough entropy in all cases and rngd daemon is not needed to run in a userspace any more.

Starting with the RHEL-8.3 the rng-tools package which contains the rngd daemon is not installed by default. Still the rng-tools package could be explicitly installed in cases when a certain hardware random number generator should fill the general kernel entropy pool (available to a userspace via /dev/random file).
