| Hi Dan. Is it possible that we could adjust this feature to be enabled | with a config option? It seems to add a considerable amount of bulk to | the kernel that's deadweight for the people not using it. | | Maybe call the config option RANDOMPID or something like that, and then | conditionally compile in the appropriate code (including the arc4random.c | source file). I don't care if its the default in GENERIC or not, but | I'm starting to get worried about fitting kernels onto floppies with all | the other /boot junk that's required now. We can swing that, sure. I will include that in my next patch (which will randomize source ports). Cheers! -- Dan Moschuk (TFreak!dan@freebsd.org) "Cure for global warming: One giant heatsink and dual fans!"
