Oh, nice to know.

You don't have it in any of those?

If I create a link it does work.

There should be some hint somewhere what the egd path should look like (or it should be configurable or something). The egd package doesn't recommend one of the above paths and so I made up one myself. And reading through the RAND_egd manpage isn't so obvious either... ;)

Thanks again, Adam
