Hello, Is there a specific reason to continue using update-alternatives for providing /dev/random ?? Here are my arguments *not* to use update-alternatives to provide random and urandom (a) Debian/Linux - Does not provide it this way (Context is consistency across debian ports) (b) Recursive grep through /etc/ on hurd would fail with the error message "Resource lost" while on Debian/Linux it would succeed (at least it did on my box). Regards, Harish
