Compiling both into the kernel is possible, but tricky, so I didn=E2=80=99= t do it this time round. The reason for the trickiness is that randomdev_soft.c = gets compiled for each hash (Yarrow, Fortuna) with hash-specific #defines = set. Not insoluble, but I just didn=E2=80=99t get to it. I=E2=80=99ll fix the random_adaptors bit shortly. M --=20 Mark R V Murray
