I do not know what "enabled" it, whatever it did, is wrong, since nowadays rng-tools will come up automatically when a hwrng device is registered or when the user has manually configured/enabled the daemon explicitly.

I suggest you remove the package and install haveged in that machine.

That's already installed. Removed rng-tools Thanks, Robert

What is the user instance good for at all?

At the moment it does not really do anything useful.

So why it is running then by default? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
