Hi Austin,
FWIW: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urandom (snip) "A software program called EGD (entropy gathering daemon) is a common alternative for Unix systems which do not support the /dev/random device.
Yep, I know. The problem with using EGD is that there isn't a standard path to it. Because /dev/urandom is so commonly available, adding a configuration option and code for such a rarely used feature didn't seem worth it. Thanks, --juan
