  Description     : Entropy Gathering Daemon

This is a standalone daemon that sits around running various statistics
collection programs (ps, vmstat, iostat, etc). It hashes the results into an
"entropy pool". If things happen on your system at relatively random and
unpredictable times, then some of that randomness will become a part of the
entropy pool and can be used to generate random numbers. It is basically a
user-space implementation of the Linux kernel /dev/random device. As such, it
should be runnable on all unix-like systems.
