Hello,
fake /dev/random means I created a file with a string of text such as
"1234567890". This was a workaround to get the application running.
Yes that's as bad as I thought. While most things in OpenBSD itself
don't use /dev/random or /dev/urandom (some exceptions like llvm has
some use of it) other software may well do and won't be expecting to get
the same bytes repeatedly. Things could go very badly.
Your suggestion is to chroot into /var/www and run "MAKEDEV random" ?
no;
mkdir /var/www/dev
cd /var/www/dev
sh /dev/MAKEDEV random urandom
though of course you might miss some other things whuch need to be in the
chroot (which might not show up until certain codepaths are run).
Though my suggestion is not to run it in chroot at all.
