Hi, Brian Warner did a new release of his EGD and has to say this about it: egd-0.6 fixes a bug in which draining the entropy pool with blocking reads would leak a filehandle. The typical symptom was that EGD would die on solaris with a "couldn't fork: Too many open files" error during the gnupg 'make check' sequence. egd-0.6 also includes better documentation on using EGD with GPG It should be available on all GnuPG FTP mirrors now; master server's URL is: ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/egd/egd-0.6.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/pub/gcrypt/egd/egd-0.6.tar.gz.asc Brian's server is: ftp://ftp.lothar.com/linux/egd-0.6.tar.gz -- Werner Koch at guug.de www.gnupg.org keyid 621CC013
