... thus reinforcing the stereotype that PHP Does Stuff Wrong. Userland processes should get entropy from the kernel *once* at launch time and place it into an entropy pool which is *occasionally* reseeded later. If even a very slow /dev/random becomes a scalability problem, an application is doing something very very wrong. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ svn-src-head@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/svn-src-head To unsubscribe, send any mail to "svn-src-head-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
