Hey,
I thought you would think this humorous. I've been trying to get a
web-mail application running to remotely access my email without having
to use vnc.
I'm also using ssl...for that added measure of security (and the
software requires it). As I was generating a key...it said 'warning,
not much extra random data, consider using the -rand option'
Hrm...Why don't I put those 700 pieces of spam email to use? Use it as
semi-random input to the ssl key generator... *grin*
It's not really semi-random, but it's better than nothing.
