I have already been down that path, but not successfully. /dev/urandom is not available on the platform - never has, never will to my knowledge. This does appear to work if PRNGD is correctly running, but I can't seem to get that to work on this site. The config.mak.uname for NonStop does specify: CSPRNG_METHOD = openssl which should use OPENSSL_random(), shouldn't it? OpenSSL 3.0 uses the _rdrand() builtin so should ever go to PRNGD, but it seems like this is anyway. Debugging isn't possible as this is not on my own systems - and things work here. Is there any kind of tracing I can do?
