Then that's the expected behavior. Indeed if you compile with -lgnutls you'll have /dev/urandom kept open. If I switch this behavior and open /dev/urandom only when needed there will be problems in the cases where a program chroots to a directory without it (and the current behavior of gnutls didn't require /dev/urandom except on initialization). regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Gnutls-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-help
