It seems that you&#x27;re just complaining that some applications read from &#x2F;dev&#x2F;random, but you wish they would read from &#x2F;dev&#x2F;urandom.  If I understand you correctly, then it seems there exists a simple solution.  (Disclaimer: I don&#x27;t use Linux, or any other Unix.  I may not know what I&#x27;m talking about.)<p><pre><code>  mv &#x2F;dev&#x2F;random &#x2F;dev&#x2F;badrandom
  ln -s &#x2F;dev&#x2F;random &#x2F;dev&#x2F;urandom # is this the right syntax?
</code></pre>
Or something like that?
