The output of /dev/random is supposed to be cryptographically strong. So even if the there was some input bias, it shouldn't be visible on the output. If there is some problem with the output (say because of a bug), you are likely to have the problem regardless of whether or not good random input was provided. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
