Re: [PATCH] Suggested fix for 'rngd' service status

Hello,

I support this patch. Quite a while ago, there was a similar one on this list but was not merged eventually.

Michael stated it should be fixed in the upstream channel (which is basically right) - however, looking at our recent trouble with this software, I doubt it makes much sense to delay this until it reached the origin repository.

Best regards, Peter Müller

Hi,

Since https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=commitdiff;h=fd0a0384f07b399e9cb4... 'rngd' is running again with much higher values. STATUS / ENTROPY shows RUNNING. Thanks! ;-)

But '/var/run/rngd.pid' is created with wrong rights (0600). Therefore, STATUS / SERVICES tells me 'rngd' is stopped.

The suggested fix checks whether '/var/run/rngd.pid' exists and sets rights accordingly.

Best, Matthias
