Apologizes for doing this, but does anyone know the answers to these two
questions:
1) How many bytes of entropy does fips_get_entropy() get? 32 (i.e.
security_strength) or 40?
2) Is there any way to combine multiple sources of entropy (such as
/dev/urandom and egd)?
Thank you!

Hi all,
I'm trying to investigate how entropy is gathered for CTR_DRBG when OpenSSL
is in FIPS mode.
Environment: RHEL 6 and OpenSSL FIPS Object Module 2.0.2 and OpenSSL
1.0.1c.
If I understood this correctly it looks like the security_strength is 256
bits (32 bytes) and seed length is 384 bits
