Update to 1.0.4. This version can accept several input files or
RNG inputs, rather than just one, and can generate numerous output files, rather than just two. It now requires GNU make. Add a patch to use mkstemp() rather than tempnam() so temporary files are created with safe permissions. With the unpatched version, local users can read sensitive information if pad is run in a world-readable directory (the bug is not present in 0.x versions). Turn over maintainership to submitter. Submitted by: Jason Harris <jharris@widomaker.com> PR: 27323 and 32810 Install the man page. Fix spelling of "omitted" in pad.1 and pad.c. Clarify warning message about inputs with unequal sizes. Generate the packing list just before installation. I put the distfile on MASTER_SITE_LOCAL because the home site is offline. The checksum on my copy differs from the one in PR 27323.

-Note that the resulting files are the same size as the original.
+This is a small command-line utility for encryption and decryption
+using the principle of one-time pads (OTPs). One or more data files
+given to pad are XORd with each other and with RNG output, resulting
+in two or more output files. The output files are indistinguishable
+from random noise, except that when the pad utility is used to XOR
+them together again, the original data files may be recovered.
