I'm not sure about the build process of kdm, but: domi: ~> strings /usr/bin/kdm | grep urandom domi: ~> strings /usr/bin/kdm | grep random /dev/random Cannot read randomDevice %"s: %s Cannot open randomDevice %"s: %s domi: ~> As far as looking at kdm source code, apparently, after configuring, I get: domi: ~/src/3_2_BRANCH/kdebase> grep DEV_RANDOM config.status s,@XDM_CFLAGS@,-Dlinux -D__i386__ -D_POSIX_C_SOURCE=199309L -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_XOPEN_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE -D_SVID_SOURCE -DUNIXCONN -DTCPCONN -DOSMAJORVERSION=2 -DOSMINORVERSION=6 -DHASXDMAUTH -DFRAGILE_DEV_MEM -DDEV_RANDOM=\"/dev/random\" -DPOLL_DEV_RANDOM -DHAS_MKSTEMP -DHAVE_GETUSERSHELL -DUSE_SYSLOG -DUSE_PAM -ansi -W -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -g3 -fno-inline -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute,;t t ( note: '-DDEV_RANDOM=\"/dev/random\"' ) I have spent a bit of time figuring out where this is coming from, and apparently, it is generated with the Imakefile stuff in kdebase/kdm/backend ( the part where it has "#if RandomDefines" must be selected somehow ). I haven't got time to look into this further atm, but I hope this should already help... cheers domi
