Upgrade to 6.16. Create rngd user & group and change init.d script to tell rngd to drop privileges and switch to running as this user/group after initialisation. Add README.Alpine pointing out recent kernel changes make rngd redundant.

Recent linux kernels contain substantial changes to the way entropy is
|
|
handled.

I discussed the current situation of rngd and modern Linux kernels with the
|
|
rng-tools maintainer in https://github.com/nhorman/rng-tools/issues/195"
|
|
|
|
Based on his feedback it appears that rngd serves no practical purpose with
|
|
modern Linux kernels and running it is not recommended.
