Bug #17718: session.entropy_length doesnt work

From: axr7993@rit.edu Operating system: Mac OS X 10.1.5 PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Session related Bug description: session.entropy_length doesnt work Problem: New sessions are always started with an entropy length of 32. I've tried setting my session.entropy_length variable to values ranging from 1 to 512. According to phpinfo() the value is being read correctly from the php.ini file. I have tried /dev/random and /dev/urandom as my entropy file. I get the same results either way.
