Well, it's not just for /dev/random but also for all in-kernel cosumers of random numbers, so doing this as a sysctl makes quite a lot of sense. Whether sysctl should be mached into procfs or sysfs or rather be it's own fs is an entirely different question. Interface-wise the latter would make most sense. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
