Description Steve Grubb 2012-09-29 13:12:35 UTC
Description of problem:
The rngd (random number generator daemon) runs as initrc_t. Its a required daemon to pull entropy from a tpm chip or an ivy bridge processor and push it into /dev/random. Its part of the rng-tools package.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. systemctl start rngd.service
2. ps -eZ | grep initrc_t

a rng starting point

The enclosed policy module is what i managed to get

i used /dev/urandom as the "Kernel device used for random number input" i could not get anything else to work on my system.

Comment 2 Dominick Grift 2012-09-29 15:21:27 UTC
Theres a bug in rng_admin() where it should call rng_systemctl_rngd($1) instead of rng_systemctl($1)
