== Random Number Generator (haveged) ==
Tools like putty are dependent on random numbers to be able to create certificates.
 
=== haveged - Generate random numbers and feed linux random device ===
The haveged daemon doesn't need any special configuration, therefore you can start it from the command line interface:
/etc/init.d/haveged start
 
Check, if the start was successful:
ps auxf | grep haveged
 
root 18001 1.0 0.0 7420 3616 ? Ss 08:48 0:00 /usr/sbin/haveged -r 0 -w 1024 -v 1
 
Add the haveged daemon to the default run level:
rc-update add haveged default
== nss-pam-ldapd ==
