Hello David,
I use to have the same problem on Debian (lenny).

I solved it; take a look to :

In case rng-tools might not work, check for "randomsound".

Ragards,
Pete

The entropy check on my xymon server keeps going yellow saying that the
kernel entropy pool is low. However I am not completely sure what it is
(I did look for info online) or how to fix the check so it does not go
yellow (increase the entropy? Clear it ?)

If anyone can give me a hand I would appreciate it.
