:A problem we avoid is sshd getting predictable numbers and being
:compromised.
Which is meaningless since production machines are running 4.2. And
also meaningless because sshd is not started until much later in the
boot process... so all the hell of the hacks to the early-rc code
has nothing to do with sshd.
:> There is a big difference. One creates havoc, one creates a smooth
:> development path. Doug and Mark have chosen the wrong path.
:
:Actually, Matt, we have chosen the above path. You just don't believe us
:because we haven't finished.
:
:You also ignore the security officer's input in this whole thing.

:M

:Mark Murray
And you've happily left the tree broken while you debated it, instead
of making it opt-in right away as you should have done in the first place.
I'm still waiting for that commit.
