[LON-CAPA-users] seed of student's problem

Hi Lars,

It isn't stored anywhere. 

The fuinction taht generates the seed in the Apache::lonnet::rndseed
function in the lonnet.pm file in /home/httpd/lib/perl/Apache

It takes the internal instance name of the the resource, the internal
course id number, the user's domain and the user's name to generate
the seed.

The <radiobutton/option/image/match/rank response> use the
Apache::response::setrandomnumber function to also include to
problem's part id into the seed.

If you want to see the seed inside the script environment the variable
$external::randomseed is set to what is used.


What's up?
