Port for /dev/random?

Has anyone ported Linux’s /dev/random for QNX4.

I have tried perl entropy gatherers, but I am experiancing difficulties
with TCP/IP 5.0’s Unix sockets.


I’m hoping to find /dev/random so that I can use OpenSSL as it needs a
random seed.

It was ported already. search google.

I have done a google search that was step 1.

I see references to a port becoming available but no developer
information and no URL.

I was hoping someone knows a URL/developer of a port.

As most crypto packages need some sort of random device I thought this
would be a common problem.

Sam Roberts (sam@cogent.ca) of Cogent Real-Time Systems (www.cogent.ca)
did the port. It used to be on his site at
http://www.emyr.net/Sam
but it seems it is not accessible at the moment.
someone may have archived it, or you can email Sam for the port.
