The <literal>security.rngd</literal> module has been removed.
It was disabled by default in 20.09 as it was functionally redundent
with krngd in the linux kernel. It is not necessary for any device that the kernel recognises
as an hardware RNG, as it will automatically run the krngd task to periodically collect random
data from the device and mix it into the kernel's RNG.
