Do you really need full the plugability (including run-time selection of = algorithm), or do you just need to have KLD modules back? I intend to do the latter, but in a different way. The adaptor code and = run-time section was a locking liability. > Whether we agree with NIST's ideas about how randomness should be > handled or not, we need to to be able to comply and we do not want to > burn their desired arrangement into our kernels. Sound like you just need to be able to select a single KLD at boot time? M --=20 Mark R V Murray
