$ grep DEVICE ./config.h ./lib/config.h
./lib/config.h:#define NAME_OF_NONCE_DEVICE "/dev/urandom"
./lib/config.h:#define NAME_OF_PSEUDO_RANDOM_DEVICE "/dev/urandom"
./lib/config.h:#define NAME_OF_RANDOM_DEVICE "/dev/srandom"

$ ls -l /dev/*random*
cr--r--r--  1 root  wheel  46, 0 Dec 20  2010 /dev/random
crw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  46, 1 Dec 20  2010 /dev/urandom
