I would rather save the contents of the random pool, and re-load them when the server starts. Once the server has run for a while and processed many requests, the random pool will be well-stirred. Such a patch to save/load the pool shouldn't be more than ~20 lines. The main difficulty is knowing when to save the pool, as the server usually isn't shut down gracefully. Maybe just writing it once an hour is enough... As for yarrow, I think it's overkill. Alan DeKok. - List info/subscribe/unsubscribe? See http://www.freeradius.org/list/users.html
