Hi Geoff, thanks for your quick response.

He is talking about someobody having asked him to add testsuite support, but he didn't exactly know what he needs to add. I could not find any evidence of any prior or later discussion on that subject. Maybe Michal could enlighten us :) > As for the RNG stuff, if you are able to find any references to > discussion and/or cvs commits regarding the "deactivation by OpenSSL > maintainers" then that would make it easier for me to follow up too. > TIA. At http://www.logix.cz/michal/devel/padlock/index.xp?show_selected=1&msgid=1050 I found the quote "Stock OpenSSL as packaged in linux distros or as available from openssl.org has the RNG engine intentionally disabled. Thus "no-RNG". My patches have it enables, so you see "RNG". See the source for the reasons to enable/disable RNG." which seems to indicate that Michal Ludvig's original code has it enabled, but OpenSSL mainline disabled it. I searched the list archives and RT before, but didn't find anything on either the RNG or the SHA issue.
