We have seen a long discussion on how to get random numbers - I do not know whether I need them or not, but-
what is the problem with having /dev/random an option?
Installing a secure-my-network-package.tar.gz - and it tells you: "I really need /dev/random. Plese build a new kernel as follows (1) cd /usr/src/linux (2) configchange RANDOM_OPTION=y /* just as an example */ (3) make zImage ... " If these instructions are correct, anybody who can install a package can make a correct kernel. There is nothing about building a new kernel.
So please, Ted and Martin, go on, discuss and post a summary ;-). +--+ !cu! +--+ Hartmut
