Hi all,
In an attempt to (1) learn Hurd programming and (2) help out with the
development where I can, I have cooked up a port of the /dev/{,u}random
Linux driver for Hurd.
It is still incomplete (most notably lacking is the actual entropy
gathering), but it works with ssh; which was a big motivation for trying
something like this in the first place.
I now know that other people have worked on ports of the Linux driver
(or on other ways of generating good random data), but I did not at time
I started working on this, and I thought learning Hurd programming was a
good enough reason to continue my work.
There is a quickly-cooked-up homepage at
http://mel.interspace.dk/~sune/hurd/entropy.html
Any comments on the work will be greatly appreciated, so that I may
learn what I did right/wrong.
Regards,
P.S. Is anyone working on a netfs over rsh/ssh?
