User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.3; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko)

Description of problem:
The kernel devices.txt indicates that the hardware random number generator should be /dev/hwrng.  The program /sbin/rngd looks for /dev/hw_random, it should be changed to conform with the LANANA device names.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Type "rngd" as root.

Actual Results:  Error that it can't open /dev/hw_random.

Expected Results:  Error that it can't open /dev/hwrng because udev does not create /dev/hwrng.

we don't follow lanana but the udev convention
