I have written a demon for Linux that gathers entropy from timer
jitter and pushes it into random(4). There is working code and a
PDF rationale document.

Comment and criticism solicited.

It is at: ftp://ftp.cs.sjtu.edu.cn:990/sandy/maxwell/

That should be available for anon FTP, but I have not tested it from
outside the university. If it does not work for you, send an off-list
request and I can email the tar file.
