[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#660585: nagios-nrpe-server: again use secure RNG

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

To be fair enough I should probably add:

The original use of /dev/urandom seems to not the safest either.
It get's just 8 bit of entropy... not sure whether this is already
enough as initial seed; maybe it actually (I'm not a crypto expert).

But I do know, that things like PID, PPID, time and that like are highly
predictive.


Best wishes,
Chris.
