No, it's exactly to the point: he's forked random.c before a large set of changes that he needs to be aware of. The SHA1 code is now shared by cryptolib and obviously no longer suffers from the (non-existent) weakness he referenced. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
