Good question. Given the apparent issues with pre-defined point-in-time reviews, the authors suggest continuous or random-time reviews instead.

CentOS has had a stability advantage by being downstream of RHEL. It makes sense to switch the free version to be upstream of the paid version. Unexpectedly changing CentOS 8 after many had already migrated to it makes no sense and thoroug

You seem to be arguing that there will be no need to use the --random-source option after November. If so, that is incorrect in my view. ELS versions receive critical security fixes and urgent bug fixes until the end of their support. Th

RHEL 6 ELS will be supported until 2024. My comments are not contradictory to your point about 2013. They are only meant to make people aware that there are supported OS versions in use that have this issue.

The latest versions of RHEL/CentOS 6 use coreutils version 8.4, so I assume their shuf defaults to insecure. I imagine that RHEL 5 ELS must have the same issue. I don't know of any other currently-supported Linux or BSD versions

Interesting. They stopped using /dev/urandom as the default random file in version 7.3, which created the insecure default situation. Later, in version 8.6, they updated to use a default nonce from /dev/urandom. It'

This may not be cryptographically secure. Shuf can default to using a small amount of entropy.[1,2,3] To be certain, you can add the --random-source option: shuf --random-source=/dev/urandom -n 4 /usr/share/dict&#
