Subject: netscape NSRANDFILE compatible with /dev/random ?
What happens if NSRANDFILE is set to /dev/random ? will netscape try to read an infinite number of random bytes ?
In the current patch it will read up to 1 megabyte before stopping. In 2.0 I will add a way to specify a size. As a temporary hack you could use 'dd' to get the number of bytes you want into a file, then remove the file once netscape had started up. --Jeff -- Jeff Weinstein - Electronic Munitions Specialist Netscape Communication Corporation jsw@netscape.com - http://home.netscape.com/people/jsw Any opinions expressed above are mine.
