We haven't implemented real collection of hardware entropy, both /dev/random and /dev/urandom use a pseudo-random generator, so I'm not surprised that it can be compressed a bit. > Some Python package complained it failed to get random numbers. > > And GnuTLS failed to initialize due to the random number generator. Do you have both /dev/random and /dev/urandom? You may have to re-run dpkg-reconfigure hurd to fix them. Samuel
