Hi Andreas,
Correct, one place was missed when the urandom patch was applied. Will fix.

Hi,
I think there is still a bug in the trunk:
Line 50 in XrdSecsssKT.cc:
if ((randFD = open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY)) < 0
should probably be
if ((randFD = open(devRand, O_RDONLY)) < 0
The implementation with /dev/random does not work well on machines without keyboards. Normally we have very low entropy on this machines and I long hangups before authentications because there are no random numbers available.
Could be the default maybe /dev/urandom and /dev/random only as a config option?
Cheers Andreas.
