The /dev/random implimentation in -current is completly different to that in -stable and is based on the Yarrow system. It is unlikely that the random system in -stable will be replaced at this stage; if it is it would probably be replaced with a backport of Yarrow. There are papers on Yarrow available on www.counterpane.com. David. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
