/usr/src/linux-1.3.30/include/linux/random.h
To quote from random.c...
* The two other interfaces are two character devices /dev/random and
* /dev/urandom. /dev/random is suitable for use when very high
* quality randomness is desired (for example, for key generation.),
* as it will only return a maximum of the number of bits of
* randomness (as estimated by the random number generator) contained
* in the entropy pool.
Neat! :)
(I remember talk about this a few months ago in usenet. It seems
Linus liked the idea :-)
I'd like to create these two devices. Exactly how is this done so
that it all works properly with correct ownership and permissions etc?
Thanks.
Cheers
Tony
