ID: 17718 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: axr7993@rit.edu -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Session related Operating System: Mac OS X 10.1.5 PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: RTFM: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.session.php This is not a bug. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-11 18:55:36] axr7993@rit.edu 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.
