The quick but the bad way to do this is for testing is # ls -l /dev/*random crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 Nov 16 06:18 /dev/random cr--r--r-- 1 root root 1, 9 Nov 7 22:47 /dev/urandom # mv /dev/random /dev/random.orig # ln -sf /dev/urandom /dev/random And then, because letting /dev/random that way too long is insecure : # rm -f /dev/random # mv /dev/random.orig /dev/random This avoid to recompile the source just for testing. > > -- > .:.Sebastian Hagedorn - RZKR-R1 (Gebäude 52), Zimmer 18.:. > Zentrum für angewandte Informatik - Universitätsweiter Service RRZK > .:.Universität zu Köln / Cologne University - ✆ +49-221-478-5587.:. > .:.:.:.Skype: shagedorn.:.:.:. > ---- > Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ > Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki > List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html > -- Alain Spineux aspineux gmail com May the sources be with you ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
