TLS_EGDSOCK (ITS#738)
Full_Name: Michael Weiser
Version: cvs 20000912
OS: irix 6.5
URL: ftp://ftp.openldap.org/incoming/michael-weiser-20000912-egd-3.patch
Submission from: (NULL) (139.18.25.3)
Hi,
I decided to introduce a new option TLS_EGDSOCK that makes tls_seed_PRNG()
*additionally* try to seed the RNG from an egd socket. This option can be
non-user-only since it can't accidently make all users use the same RNG
seed. The patch shouldn't change the behaviour of TLS_RANDFILE in any way.
It works for me on Irix 6.5.
I also removed the unused egdsocket variable which was perhaps used to
save the state of initialization but isn't used now.
