You should perhaps have a look at this patch: <http://download.ibofobi.dk/hurd-entropy/gnumach-entropy.diff.bz2>, (now) linked from <http://hurd.gnufans.org/bin/view/Hurd/RandomDevice>. > Now the next question, is there some documentation about the workings of MiG > and any recommended code parts I can look at to see how the IPC is done? There are the ``Hurd Hacking Guide, an introduction to GNU Hurd and Mach programming by Wolfgang J??hrling'', the ``Unofficial GNU Mach IPC beginner's guide, an easy introduction to Inter Process Comunication in the Mach microkernel by Manuel Pav??n Valderrama'' and ``Mach IPC without MIG, an exercise by Neal H Walfield to understand Mach IPC at one of its lowest application levels'' -- all (now) available from <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/docs.html#papers>. > Still much to learn, but I'm liking it :) That's the most important thing of everything! :-) Regards, Thomas
