    55My system /dev/urandom is working just fine all of the time, therfore the build process tests have all succeeded (and, the server starts just fine if not in the chroot as well).

    7 If OpenVPN can access and make use of the chrooted environment, I guess it shouldn't be too difficult also to create /dev/urandom, if not there already. I've created the missing device (in linux) simply launching "mknod urandom c 1 9" in the chrooted dev directory. This at least prevents OpenVPN to start my server successfully (I don't know the usefulness of such a device for OpenSSL / the quality of the randomness provided with it though).
