Long ago but not far away, when I had to implement this on HP-UX, I found that it had no "random" device. Not many systems did, then or now. So I got the Entropy Generating Daemon [egd, written in Perl], and it worked fine. Remember to have it start at boot BEFORE anything that uses random data. And you will have to tell 'openssl' etc. about it. Oh, look, it's moved to sourceforge. ;-) http://sourceforge.net/projects/egd/ -- /*********************************************************************\ ** ** Joe Yao [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Joseph S. D.
