I seem to remember someone saying that pgp's +makerandom function was broken. However I'm unable to find any confirmation of this with a web search. I'm sure there used to be a known pgp bugs list held at MIT? I can't find it now. Anyone know of the bugs lists whereabouts, or could confirm/refute any security problems with +makerandom? (premail uses it, pgp stealth could use it, if it worked). [the (undocumented) feature is this: pgp +makerandom=1024 out creates 1024 bytes of what should be good random nos, in file "out"] Adam -- print pack"C*",split/\D+/,`echo "16iII*o\U@{$/=$z;[(pop,pop,unpack"H*",<> )]}\EsMsKsN0[lN*1lK[d2%Sa2/d0<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<J]dsJxp"|dc`
