I should have thought about it. :-(

yum install rng-tools

Yes, you need yet another package. :-)

Here's an opportunity to learn a new trick. You now want to find out what package installs [b]rngd[/b]. Run:

[code]
yum whatprovides "*/rngd"
[/code]

Likewise, from another example above, you could have found which one to install instead of perl* :

[code]
yum whatprovides "perl(ExtUtils::Embed)"
[/code]
