CVS commit: src



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   riastradh
Date:           Fri Jun 30 21:44:09 UTC 2023

Modified Files:
        src/etc/defaults: rc.conf
        src/share/man/man5: rc.conf.5

Log Message:
rc.conf(5): Set entropy=wait by default.

We no longer block indefinitely -- if nothing else, the hardclock
timer should yield enough samples to unblock /dev/random on all but
the most severely deterministic machines -- so it should be generally
safe for availability to set entropy=wait.

This doesn't guarantee that HWRNG/seed has been provided before you
run ssh-keygen or call getentropy(3) in a user application, but it
does raise the security above netbsd<=9.
