Description Yoshihiro Koya 2001-06-03 20:40:08 UTC 
If you browse random(3) man page, you may find
	SEE ALSO
	     rand(3), srand(3), urandom(4)
But there is no urandom(4) man page

Fix: There are two ways of fix, maybe.

(1) add urandom(4) man page

(2) unrandom(4) --> random(4)
How-To-Repeat: Type "man 3 random", for example.

Over to markm, the author of the new /dev/random device.  Mark, I'm not quite 
sure which fix is more appropriate here.  It seems that /dev/urandom is 
being phased out.  So is it more appropriate to make urandom.4 a link to 
random.4 or change all occurances of urandom(4) to random(4)?  If you don't 
have time to do this, tell me which fix is appropriate and I'll do it. 

Thanks.
