thank you for your response.

A:

sol8 by default does not include an entropy device
like /dev/random. so you have to install one.
recommendation is to use this one found here:

http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/

and we did, and it makes a huge difference.

does anyone know how to add entropy sources with an
example?

thank you.
