Just to quickly jump in (and out) here, I recall a thread that went on for weeks in sci.crypt at the beginning of this year about the same thing. Before you all reinvent the wheel (and make this thread any longer), I would suggest sauntering on over to dejanews. For those who were patient enough to get past the usual banter, it was quite enlightening, indeed. They certainly have more of a clue about these things than I would ever hope to have. (Yes, they also talked about using NTP servers for gathering entropy.) -Paul. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
