>Description:
The random(4) man page provides an URL in text:
The other variables are explained in the paper describing the Yarrow
algorithm at http://www.counterpane.com/yarrow.html.
That link now leads to a catchall/hijacked page:
"BT - UK Large business & public sector"
and should be removed or replaced by either:
http://www.schneier.com/yarrow.html
or by a Wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yarrow_algorithm
>How-To-Repeat:
man 4 random
>Fix:
edit the man page source
