Topic

An enhanced rng-tools package that adds two enhancements is now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Description

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

This update adds the following enhancements:

  • A new "-i, --ignorefail" command line option has been added to the rngd

daemon. This option allows rngd to ignore repeated warning messages about failed
FIPS checks. (BZ#733452)

  • The rngd(8) manual page has been modified to include the "-i, --ignorefail"

option. (BZ#749629)

All users of rng-tools are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which
adds these enhancements.

Solution

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259
