I'm suprised someone else hasn't noticed this one. On the Netscape 1.12 and 2.0 info pages, it talks about how the RNG has been much improved. Among other things, it mentions that the truly paranoid can add stuff to their environment before starting Netscape, and since it uses the environment to help seed the RNG, this will improve security. On SunOS, at least, you can see the complete environment of ANY program running on the system... I use: ps -auxgwwwe Granted, that's not damning in itself, but it doesn't help much... -WW
