[asked on -security before, but no answer, maybe here's more traffic ;-)] hi, is a random pid generation really a security enhancement? if yes, would it make sense to setup something like: --> sysctl kern.randompid=`jot -r 1 500 2000` in cron to be executed every X mins/hrs? and finally, what are the recommended minimum (security) and maximum (performance) values for kern.randompid?
