Using EGD to seed SSL if there is no random device is a good idea, yes -- but it also seems like something that should be done in the SSL library itself rather than on an ad-hoc basis in every single SSL-using application. I've copied this reply to the SSL bugs list. Perhaps someone there will be able to tell us either when this is planned, or why it is not. -- <a href="http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/">Eric S.
