I'm held up a bit. I haven't rebooted because I'm also testing Glibc patches, but I expect the above will work. It's been a while since anyone properly tested /dev/frandom or /dev/erandom, so it's due for a serious randomness test and benchmark to see that all is well. When the next patch is believed to work I'll try to test to confirm with Diehard tests, and whatever else I can find to test it. robert
