/dev/random on V5.1B

[dom kris]

Helo,

I deleted the /dev/random and /dev/urandom device on my Tru64v5.1B box (per accident).
Any idea how I can get those back?

With kind regards,

Kris

You could use mknod:

note that 'c' specifies that /dev/random and urandom are character devices.

before you try this check your man page on mknod and make sure that what I've done looks ok, but it should work.

/usr/sbin/mknod c

eg: for /dev/random something like:
/usr/sbin/mknod /dev/random c 85 0

for /dev/urandom:
/usr/sbin/mknod /dev/urandom c 85

hope this helps

regards
