Subject: eBones appears free of PRNG bug.
Sender: owner-security@freebsd.org
Precedence: bulk

I have done a quick check of the eBones that is shipped with FreeBSD 2.1R
and it appears to have already been fixed.  In /usr/src/eBones/include/des.h
there is a "#define random_key des_random_key".  The random_key function
appears to have vanished from the sources.

All the usual disclaimers apply :-)
