X-Mailer: VM 7.07 under 21.4 (patch 8) "Honest Recruiter" XEmacs Lucid Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Every time IPsec fires up on my 4.6 thru 4.7.2 machines, I get this warning: WARNING: pseudo-random number generator used for IPsec processing I'm just curious as to what alternatives I have for the random number source, or is just an informational message reminding me that my randomness sucks? Google found all of 5 pages on the web containing that warning, and none of them were *about* that warning.
