Logged In: YES user_id=499 Your lastest version works fine for me (on Redhat Linux 9), but I still think it would be a better idea to write the /dev/urandom-ish code in Python, using os.open. That way, you could report better error messages if /dev/urandom is inaccessable, instead of simply claiming that it "wasn't found." (Maybe it was found, but we don't have permission to access it.)
