The quick but the bad way to do this is for testing is # ls -l /dev/*randomcrw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 8 Nov 16 06:18 /dev/randomcr--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 Spineuxaspineux gmail comMay the sources be with you----Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twikiList Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
