Hi, i've had EAP-TLS working well for a few weeks now, but am
wondering about the most secure way to set up the dh and random
files.  Initially i just created static files using commands
found in the list archives and/or the eap howto:

  openssl dhparam -text -5 -out /opt/radius/etc/dh 512
  dd if=/dev/urandom of=/opt/radius/etc/random count=2

And it works fine.  But my concern is that this random data will
become stale.  How often should these files be refreshed -- with
each server restart?  Or at regular intervals via cron?  Or would
it be better to specify a dynamic source of entropy directly in
radius.conf?  (E.g. /dev/urandom , although i know people some
people frown upon this.)   Or does the staleness of the random
data in those two files not matter?  Any tips would be be
greatly appreciated.

TIA,
-Matt
