better, because it never blocks and actually gives the amount of requested
data. The drawback is just that the quality of the received data may not
- be the best.

- On some platforms like FreeBSD one can even control how the entropy is
- actually generated, i.e. by which system interrupts. More details one can
- find under rndcontrol(8) on those platforms. Alternatively, when
- your system lacks such a random device, you can use tool
- like EGD
- (Entropy Gathering Daemon) and run it's client program with the
- exec:/path/to/program/
variant (see below) or use
- egd:/path/to/egd-socket
(see below).
