[Sks-devel] sks using dev/random

[Peter Palfrader]

My box was getting a little low on entropy sometimes, so I wondered
which applications used the random devices.

I found out that sks has dev/random open.  I guess there's no good
reason for sks to require that strong randomness, is there?  At least
urandom should be used.  Or do I miss something?

address@hidden:~$ sudo lsof -n | grep random
sks        1314       debian-sks    3r      CHR        1,8               
1048810 /dev/random
sks        1316       debian-sks    3r      CHR        1,8               
1048810 /dev/random

Cheers,
Peter
