Depending on how you are attacking this, it was already done or should be done differently. A GNU Mach char glue code was added by Okuji Yoshinori, with a few bug fixes by me. YOu can get it from alpha.gnu.org/gnu/hurd/marcus/ (actually in a subdirectory of it, I forgot the name of the subdir). You also need streamdev by Okuji. But it would also be interesting to implement /dev/random as a user space server. Some user space random generator could be written as translator. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
