And then recently in the past couple yea= rs in 8.x I recall having problems with a GnuPG related tool that would hang due to l= ack of entropy on a freshly installed box when generating "stuff" using random(4). Are the days of choosing between urandom(4) and random(4) over? Would SSL function great on a freshly installed box even if using random(4)= for apache? (it wants to default to /dev/random anyways) --=20 Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidentia= l.
