Er, that's weird. What's setting the permissions of /dev/urandom and /dev/random to 0660? I don't have an etch system immediately at hand, but sarge and lenny both have both being world-readable: windlord:~> dir /dev/*random crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 2007-03-14 19:10 /dev/random crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 9 2007-03-14 19:10 /dev/urandom weblogin1:~> dir /dev/*random crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 2005-05-13 18:21 /dev/random cr--r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 2006-07-24 08:24 /dev/urandom The second box is on a 2.4 kernel without udev, so it's been this way for some time. -- Russ Allbery ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
