| DuH! | | NTP is the perfect way to gather entropy at bootup! | | Predicting the clock's offset from reality and the two way path to | the server of choice is impossible, plus if people enable authentication | later on the packets will be choke full of high-quality entropy. | | We need an enterprising soul to add an option (default on) to | ntpdate to write the received packets in toto to /dev/random | if it exists. | | If somebody does this, I will spear-head the effort of getting it | into the ntpv4 sources (Hmm, don't I have a commit bit there | already ? Can't remember...) Well, how many other OSs out there allow /dev/random to be written to? -Dan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
