+After installing this package, you'll need to addgroup "bit-babbler"
+OR: put a modified copy of
+ /lib/udev/rules.d/90-bit-babbler.rules
+into /etc/udev/rules.d that uses an existing group (e.g., "wheel").
+(So long as the filename is the same, the modified rules file in this
+directory will override the original installed by this package.)
+
+To have your BitBabbler device(s) start feeding entropy to the
+kernel at boot:
+
+1) Add the following lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+# Start BitBabbler TRNG.
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.seedd ]; then
+ . /etc/rc.d/rc.seedd start
+fi
+
+2) And add the following to /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown:
+
+# Stop BitBabbler TRNG.
+if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.seedd ]; then
+ . /etc/rc.d/rc.seedd stop
+fi
+
+3) Then be sure the execute bit is set (chmod) for rc.local,
+rc.local_shutdown, and rc.seedd.
