entropy cookbook
This cookbook will install an entropy gathering daemon on lots of different platforms.
Applications can hang or become very slow due to lack of entropy, especially when generating
keys (like RSA or GPG keys). Installing an entropy gathering daemon gives the OS a relatively
high quality source of entropy.
Entropy daemons
haveged
Right now, this cookbook only supports install haveged. This is an entropy gathering daemon that
I have a lot of experience with and that is well supported on lots of platforms. I am totally open
to implementing recipes for other entropy gathering daemons as well.
Supported Platforms
See [metadata.rb](metadata.rb) for the list of supported platforms
