From reading the web page, it seems to rely on hardware to import entropy from an external source, which is less than ideal for use with UML. If the host has a steady supply of randomness from any source, then UML should be able to simply read from /dev/random on the host. -- - mdz ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
