I believe the talloc port in FreeBSD uses arc4random() during talloc_init() to calculate magic.

We do consider such patches, with justification, when submitted by or on behalf of their authors. See for example this recent MR submitted by Debian: https://gitlab.com/samba-team/samba/-/merge_requests/1420 It makes assessing issues like this much easier.

I recall reading that they were deemed unacceptable because of some security related difficulty in namespacing attributable to ZFS or the kernel in FreeBSd. This sort of stuff is out of my realm and I am going on memory from a comment that I read in a FreeBSD samba bug report some time ago. I am sure that a direct communication with Timur will obtain the precise details. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Unencrypted messages have no legal claim to privacy Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
