Should I have nessus-mkrand?
Yes. But there is a work around: it just writes 1024 bytes of pseudo-random crap to $HOME/.rnd So if you have a /dev/random or /dev/urandom on your system, simply run: dd if=/dev/random of=$HOME/.rnd bs=1k count=1 Otherwise, find a way to grab enough random-looking garbage and put it into $HOME/.rnd The result may be bigger than 1 KB -- the bigger the better in fact, the file will be shortened after the first use. -- arboi@alussinan.org http://arboi.da.ru FAQNOPI de fr.comp.securite http://faqnopi.da.ru/ NASL2 reference manual http://michel.arboi.free.fr/nasl2ref/ _______________________________________________ Nessus mailing list Nessus@list.nessus.org http://mail.nessus.org/mailman/listinfo/nessus
