No, RC4 keys are anything up to 256 bytes. I think what you really want is a union in any case, but relax. arc4_stir() works right now, so I think it can stay as is until we're ready to make further functional changes, e.g., getting entropy from the KERN_ARND sysctl. But that's complicated by the fact that KERN_ARND won't tell you if it has failed to produce any useful entropy, and I won't have the cycles to look into it for a little while. _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
