10.4: Random password widgets may not be random
Authored by: jacobolus on Dec 13, '05 07:14:35AM

Except if you get a 10 MB random bit dump from random.org, and then use part of the file to pick where in the file to pull out a few bytes of random data, it's inconcievable that someone with a packet sniffer could figure out your strategy. That said, /dev/rand is fine AFAICT
