changes are checked in but mock keeps failing. I'll need to try again tomorrow and hope rel-eng has this solved rng-tools-5-2.el7.x86_64: # man rngd | grep /dev /dev/hwrandom. The -o or --random-device options can be used to select an alternate entropy output device, besides the default /dev/random. Note that this device must support the Linux kernel /dev/random ioctl API. Kernel device used for random number output (default: /dev/random) Kernel device used for random number input (default: /dev/hwrandom) rng-tools-5-9.el7.x86_64: # man rngd | grep /dev /dev/hwrng. The -o or --random-device options can be used to select an alternate entropy output device, besides the default /dev/random. Note that this device must support the Linux kernel /dev/random ioctl API. Kernel device used for random number output (default: /dev/random) Kernel device used for random number input (default: /dev/hwrng) Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
