Hi, while I've been staring at debug output of 2.x.x I noticed that%{rand:x} doesn't seem to do what it should: ++? if (true ) -> TRUE ++- entering if (true ) {...} expand: %{rand:1000000}%Y%m%d%H%M%S -> 201307150802013-07-15 08:17:08 expand: %{rand:1000000}%Y%m%d%H%M%S -> 201307150802013-07-15 08:17:08 expand: %{rand:1000000}%Y%m%d%H%M%S -> 201307150802013-07-15 08:17:08 As you see, the expression %{rand:1000000} gets expanded into an empty string. In my particular case, this leads to a lot less entropy than I thought. The expansion is there three times alright, that's as per config, but I would have expected the results to be different. Now that I knew where to look, I went back to 2.2.0 mainstream release code - and saw the same :-( I didn't go back to 2.1.12. I'm "fairly sure" it worked back in the day. (Yes, I also want a %s insatead of %S in my config, got it. But the %{rand:} is really a bit more important than that. ) Stefan -- Stefan WINTER Ingenieur de Recherche Fondation RESTENA - Réseau Téléinformatique de l'Education Nationale et de la Recherche 6, rue Richard Coudenhove-Kalergi L-1359 Luxembourg Tel: +352 424409 1 Fax: +352 422473
