Which would be the most usable as input for an entropy collector running in the namei cache? The ones I am most interested in are the simple types; pointers, ints (short or long) or chars. Volatile would be good :-) I am working on improving /dev/random, and in my Copious Free Time, also trying to understand the kernel. :-) M -- Mark Murray Join the anti-SPAM movement: http://www.cauce.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
