Actually, /dev/urandom is defined never to block, but the JRE doesn't use it. If either file:/dev/random or file:/dev/urandom is configured as the securerandom.source in java.security, the URLSeedGenerator class (inside sun/security/provider/SeedGenerator.java) uses /dev/random, which can block. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
