-Sources of entropy are for example disk access latencies or keystroke patterns or behavior on networks. This suggests that for implementing a random translator a kernel part is needed as well, to gather that entropy. That kernel part would then export the gathered entropy via a kernel device, named perhaps _entropy_. TODO.

-Stuck getting SSH to work? You need a pseudo random generator (PRG).
-
-There are several solutions to the lack of _/dev/random_ and _/dev/urandom_, but they are not yet in the default installation.

-* Marcus' work can be downloaded at [random.tar.gz](ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/contrib/marcus/random.tar.gz). (Identical to <http://kilobug.free.fr/hurd/random-64.tar.gz>?)
-  * [A patch](http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/bug-hurd/2002-August/010248.html) that was probably already incorporated from August 14, 2002.
-  * Clemmitt Sigler [reported success](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-hurd/2002-10/msg00076.html) October 11, 2002 and Marcus [described some](http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-hurd/2002-10/msg00081.html) of the internals.

-Here are some tips on how to actually setup the two random devices using Kilobugs' [random-64 server](http://kilobug.free.fr/hurd/random-64.tar.gz). His tarball is a complete Hurd server including a pre-built binary - so you don't need GCC or magic fingers for this! :)
-
-After untaring the package you copy the random binary to the /hurd directory. Then you setup the translators for random and urandom.

-    # settrans -c /dev/random /hurd/random \
-               --seed-file /var/run/random-seed --secure
-    # settrans -c /dev/urandom /hurd/random \
-               --seed-file /var/run/urandom-seed --fast
-    # chmod 0644 /dev/random /dev/urandom
