I still think that the low bits of the mouses X and Y positions as the user moves the mouse around the screen are a very good source of random bits for Netscape.
Agreed.
In case it is not clear from our previous postings, our patched version will continually feed position and time of user events through the RNG hash, in addition to any seeding that we do on startup. In the case of X, we use both the X event time from the server, and the current time (based on the highest resolution clock available in the client). --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
