Clock randomness gathering daemon
The Clock randomness gathering daemon gathers system randomness from fluctuations between different physical high-frequency clocks in a system. The randomness is tested with FIPS, and if this is successful, fed into the system entropy pool. It is especially useful for systems without real hardware random number generators.

makefile
I wrote a patch which adds a makefile to clrngd. It also contains code so that clrngd will fork itself into the background to become a daemon.
You can find the patch here: www.vanheusden.com/Lin...
