Well, it's not as rosy as I thought, for /dev/random: ------------------------ duty@deb:~/math_work/sf/rollcalld$ time dd bs=128 count=16 if=/dev/random iflag=fullblock of=randump2 16+0 レコード入力 16+0 レコード出力 2048 バイト (2.0 kB) コピーされました、 107.939 秒、 0.0 kB/秒 real 1m47.945s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.012s duty@deb:~/math_work/sf/rollcalld$ time dd bs=128 count=16 if=/dev/urandom iflag=fullblock of=urandump2 16+0 レコード入力 16+0 レコード出力 2048 バイト (2.0 kB) コピーされました、 0.000850541 秒、 2.4 MB/秒 real 0m0.048s user 0m0.004s sys 0m0.004s ------------------------ I want to take a 2 MB dump from both and run some statistical stuff on them. Which means I'm going to have to start the one for urandom in the morning one day when I'm going to be doing something else with a lot of typing and other entropy improving stuff and see how long it takes to dump 16 kilobytes, and then try 64 kilobytes, and so forth until I have an idea how long it will take. -- Joel Rees Be careful where you see conspiracy.
