you can read as much as is available, with a non-blocking
file descriptor or with FIONREAD. If you need more randomness,
yo can try to collect it by reading in as much system state as
possible and adding that to the randomness pool (examples
are output from ps, time, user list, auditing logs, whatever
else you can get your hands on).

I dont know of any, but I'd bet you could find some somewhere,
possibly in an unrelated thread (like ssh lists, info about
using xauth, genera crypto faqs, maybe a linux howto).
