Subject: [PATCH] SSS_CLIENT: got rid of using PRNG
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
1) no reason to expect "thundering herd issue"
2) randomization as it was done (strictly 1 or 2 secs)
would not help much anyway
3) usage of PRNG might break app that depends on deterministic
PRNG behaviour
