In my experience, connecting to a VM using SSH with low entropy can take longer than 1 minute. As an user, I considered that the host was down. Longer than 1 minute is simply too long.
It's unclear to me if getrandom() can succeed (return random bytes) on embedded devices without hardware RNG. Can it take longer than 1 minute?
Is it possible that getrandom() simply blocks forever? |
