So, what's the current status of /dev/random? I know that the kernel
config files claim it's still experimental; why is this? Does it
appear to work, but it hasn't been verified by a statistician? Does
it work, but produce insufficiently random numbers? Does it crash the
machine?
Thanks in advance for any info.
Chris
