srandomdev() vs srandom() vs arc4random()

2005-05-24 Thread Nicolas Blais
I'm developping a software that uses random generated numbers. Since these numbers must be as "chaotic" as possible, I'm using srandomdev(). My problem is that I'm only able to compile my software on *BSD and certain distros of Linux seem to be stripped of the call. This forces me to rely on sr
