Those restrictions you have given do not define a unique distribution! so you need to think better about what you need. For instance, if you want a uniform distribution between min and max with n=5 independent observations from that, but conditional upon sum=total. For that, you could use rejection sampling, but would be phenomenally ineffective ... Kjetil
