Long ago but not far away, when I had to implement this on HP-UX, I
found that it had no "random" device.  Not many systems did, then or
now.  So I got the Entropy Generating Daemon [egd, written in Perl], and
it worked fine.  Remember to have it start at boot BEFORE anything that
uses random data.  And you will have to tell 'openssl' etc. about it.

Oh, look, it's moved to sourceforge.  ;-)
