Munin "Available entropy" when using address space layout randomization

as seen on Server Fault - Search for 'Server Fault'
Having just configured Munin for statistics logging on my gentoo server (hardened profile), I am noticing that my "Available entropy" is consitently in the 200-300 range. This seems way to low, so I checked it manually using the command $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail 3544 Odd. Consistently… >>> More
