Topic

Updated rng-tools packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

The rng-tools packages contain random number generator user-space utilities,
such as the rngd daemon.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • A recent update of rng-tools removed the "-i" and "-t" options from the rngd

daemon, which caused scripts that make use of these options to fail. This update
adds these options back to maintain backward compatibility.
Note that the "-t" option exists only to prevent script failures and has no
functionality as the new rngd has no use for it. (BZ#1259457)

Users of rng-tools are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix
this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
