[Bug 519427] [NEW] fails to start using TPM device as rng

[Mozg]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: rng-tools

I've just installed the rng-tools-2-unofficial-mt.12 that supports the
use of TPM as the rng device. However, when I start it on my Thinkpad
T61p laptop with running trousers I get the following error:

service rng-tools start
/etc/default/rng-tools: 20: –fill-watermark=90%: not found
Starting Hardware RNG entropy gatherer daemon: (failed).

/etc/default/rng-tools:
HRNGDEVICE=/dev/null
RNGDOPTIONS=”–hrng=tpm –fill-watermark=90% –feed-interval=1″

uname -a
Linux finka 2.6.31-19-generic #56-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jan 28 02:39:34 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux
