Great! Would you mind documenting the creation of *random devices?
Feel free to take the diff and commit on my behalf if you agree (I'm
sure you'll want to change some wordings ;)). I'm don't know if we need
to document for null and zero as well.

Cheers,
Daniel

-TLS Connections from PHP
-========================
+Files restriction because of the chroot jail
+============================================
 The chroot jail commonly used with PHP on OpenBSD restricts access to
-files outside of /var/www. If using PHP software which makes an
outgoing -TLS connection, you will need to copy in the relevant root
certificates -in order that server certificates can be verified:

+TLS Connections from PHP
+------------------------
+If using PHP software which makes an outgoing TLS connection, you will
+need to copy in the relevant root certificates in order that server
+certificates can be verified:
 
     # mkdir -p ${CHROOT_DIR}/etc/ssl
     # install -m 444 -o root -g bin /etc/ssl/cert.pem
${CHROOT_DIR}/etc/ssl/cert.pem 
 As this file is updated from time to time, you might like to add the
 "install" line to /etc/rc.local.

+Random devices
+--------------
+Some PHP software need to access device special files to get entropy.
+To create such a device, you can use mknod(1):
+
+    # mkdir -p ${CHROOT_DIR}/dev
+    # mknod -m 644 urandom 45 0
+    # mknod -m 644 srandom 45 1
+    # ln -s ${CHROOT_DIR}/dev/urandom ${CHROOT_DIR}/dev/{a,}random
+
+Please note this requires a partition mounted without the 'nodev'
flags, +thus a dedicated partition is better.
