    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 (that I had to create manually as well). 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).
