Please understand that the timers used here have a resolution of around 1e-8 to 1e-10 seconds. You may be able to predict the first six digits with reasonable accuracy - in fact, the first four or five will almost always be 0, except for devices with moving parts - but anything beyond that is a crapshoot, even in a virtual machine. (I am speaking, of course, of decimal digits - multiply by 3.322 for the corresponding number of bits) DES -- Dag-Erling Smørgrav - d...@des.no _______________________________________________ freebsd-security@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-security To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-security-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
