It's hard to give a good answer without knowing what "/usr/local/bin/rand" actually is. However, I can give a bad answer that's most probably correct. Since /usr/local is where stuff that's compiled from source and then installled ends up, the correct answer is probably "/usr/local/bin/rand", but only if you have the source and can port it. you wany want to investigate kernel device: /dev/urandom (man 4 urandom) bash built-in: $RANDOM (man 1 bash) and /usr/games/rolldice (from the "rolldice" package - man 6 rolldice) -- umop apisdn --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: news@netfront.net ---
