get_random_bytes() is not a _pseudo_ random number generator, it doesn't have a seed and you cannot get repeatable sequences out of it. random32.c is though, but currently it's not reseedable either. I needed a true reseedable prng a few times too so this would be useful, although i guess random32.c could have been fixed. But perhaps there's a need for a more cryptographically strong PRNG too. -Andi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-crypto" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
