The entropy mixing pool in my random translator is from gnupg, so it should be gquite ood. But it can only be as good as the data you feed it with, and there currently is no good entropy source in the Hurd. This will be fixed in GNU Mach v2. And for that I have to rediddle a bit of the internals in my random translator (use polling instead waiting for push). Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
