The following reply was made to PR kern/38527; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Nate Lawson <nate@root.org> To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org, gson@nominum.com Cc: Subject: Re: kern/38527: /dev/random does not obey O_NONBLOCK flag Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2002 13:00:04 -0700 (PDT) This behavior is intentional and was changed some time ago. If you want to block on /dev/random waiting for bytes to be available, use select/poll.
