But that's really the point. If you want strong random data, that data should have high entropy. But that entropy needs to come from somewhere -- i.e., your system. What I'd find more interesting is why you (Werner) chose quality level 1. What do these levels do? Is 2 full entropy, and 0 just urandom? -- Jerome Baum Hessenweg 222 48432 Rheine GERMANY tel +49-1578-8434336 email jer...@jeromebaum.com web www.jeromebaum.com -- PGP: A0E4 B2D4 94E6 20EE 85BA E45B 63E4 2BD8 C58C 753A PGP: 2C23 EBFF DF1A 840D 2351 F5F5 F25B A03F 2152 36DA -- Q: Why is this email five sentences or less?
