Date: Fri, 1 Sep 2000 03:06:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Kris Kennaway <kris@FreeBSD.org> I claim this to be untrue: my tests show an ordinary sound card (with no recording source, at maximum input gain) will provide far more (high-quality) entropy than Yarrow can make use of under even the most punishing loads. What kind of tests have you done? Did they include spectral analysis? If so, what kind of frequence biases did you find? I assume there was a huge peak around 60 Hz. :-) - Ted To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
