no, I'm running BSD/OS 4.2, where /dev/random is implemented as (ugh)
a symbolic link to a named socket attached to a "randomd" program.  I
should have mentioned this, since I have had this issue with other
configures too.  Not sure you can generalize for that :-)

10# cd /dev
11# ll urandom
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  19 Jul  5 22:25 urandom@ -> /var/run/random.md5

12# file /var/run/random.md5
/var/run/random.md5: socket
