We do free software, we do what we'ld like to do and to use.

I don't care about "secure" random data right now since the system usable in a "real life" production computer, but I do care about having an ssh client (and server) that works with just an apt-get. Even if it's not really secure, for test purpose (which is the only thing you can use GNU/Hurd right now) I don't care about strong security, and I'm far for being the only one in that case. -- Gael Le Mignot "Kilobug" - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://kilobug.free.fr GSM : 06.71.47.18.22 (in France) ICQ UIN : 7299959 Fingerprint : 1F2C 9804 7505 79DF 95E6 7323 B66B F67B 7103 C5DA Member of HurdFr: http://hurdfr.org - The GNU Hurd: http://hurd.gnu.org
