Binary package “pollinate” in ubuntu precise
seed the pseudo random number generator
This client will connect to one or more Pollen (entropy-
servers over an (optionally) encrypted connection and retrieve a random
seed over HTTP or HTTPS.
This is particularly useful at the first boot of cloud images and in
virtual machines, to seed a system's random number generator at
genesis, and is intended to supplement the /etc/init.d/urandom init script.
It can be used on physical machines, as well, to supplement the seeding
of the psuedo random number generator.
