Due to the way that base64 works, the last character of the output contains only 4 bits of the input randomness. That's fine, because we're depending on all of the 12 bytes from /dev/urandom for entropy. We don't need the output base64 stuff to look completely random. And it won't look random, because it's using a limited character set: base64. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2073269 Title: Replace radsecret script to avoid new perl dependencies from universe To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freeradius/+bug/2073269/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
