I know. It's annoying. libgcrypt has no way I can see to specify the source of randomness for key generation (unlike every other use of random numbers). It always uses /dev/random. That being said, I just committed a patch to libotr to allow key generation to be done in a background thread, but that doesn't really solve the problem. - Ian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
