bug in random(4) manpage

[Robin Carey]

bug in random(4) man page:
   
  4th paragraph:
   
  This implementation uses A ....
   
  should be:
   
  This implementation uses a .....
   
  Also, 6th paragrpah:
   
  ... which is not considered to be as secure ....
   
  I'm not sure what information was used to make that
statement; L15 is 
secure. I analysed the security of it myself and so
far nobody has 
broken it.
   
  The only big difference between L15 and IBAA that I
know of might be 
that L15 produces sequences with small gaps (just like
ARC4), whereas 
IBAA probably doesn't do that; it probably produces a
higher quality 
pseudo-random sequence.



Sincerely,
R Carey.
