Oh good, that matches the patch I've been working on. I'll post it in a little while. PS: is /dev/arandom common enough for us to add it to the list of devices we search for automatically without having to specify --with-devrandom=<device> [that's a new configure flag my patch will add, btw]? If so, how should the search be ordered? /dev/random /dev/arandom /dev/urandom ?? Or should /dev/arandom go before /dev/random or what? --Cliff
