Where do you get your entropy?

On remove VMs (regardless of the the fact that you control the host node or not), I like to use haveged to generate entropy. This is especially helpful on Xen PV VMs where I've had issues with openssl blocking on entropy. http://www.issihosts.com/haveged/ http://www.irisa.fr/caps/projects/hipsor/ -- staticsafe https://staticsafe.ca
