    Am porting some code to aix and can't open /dev/urandom from a 64 bit
    build.

     int fd = open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY);

    fails with EAGAIN. Same test code built 32 bit works fine. Am using gcc
    3.4.4 to build the code. Can find no info on the net about this.

    Anyone?

    Thanks
    Mark
