Thanks jggimi, I'd missed following that link! Now this is very weird, because I tested my script, without trouble, at the free OpenBSD host devio.us, which is running 5.4 i386, and there we have:

Code:
$ ls -l /dev/*random
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   45,   3 Jan 15 05:12 /dev/arandom
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   45,   0 Jan 14 04:03 /dev/random
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   45,   1 Jan 14 04:03 /dev/srandom
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   45,   2 Jan 14 04:03 /dev/urandom
I don't know how to explain this. Is there some kind of optional support for it?
