Hmm. I think we have a problem... Netscape appear to be using the BSDI getkerninfo(... SYSINFO ...) structure as a heavy seed in it's secure random number generator. We return zeros for 95% of the structure. I think it might be time to investigate filling in some of the easier ones... But if you're getting the uname() failure thing, then you're running on a kernel without the patch at all... You'd be starting with a torally zeroed structure... :-( -Peter >-- >Donald Burr, ComSci major in training :-) >POB 91212, Santa Barbara, CA 93190-1212 // tel: (805)564-1871 // fax: 564-2315 >email: picard@silcom.com // PGP Public Key - use finger or public key servers >http://www.silcom.com/~picard ** Uphold your right to privacy - Use PGP. **
