Great. But the normal user does not know this. Why not just use `openssl rand` as the wrapper that does the above? No need to change the interface for the functions - simply put the wrapper in `openssl rand` with a counter and then generate 2 GB at a time (like now) until enough has been generated. In other words: Why not change `openssl rand` to run what you would recommend people run anyway? /Ole _______________________________________________ openssl-dev mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-dev
