random/urandom
hi there, last night i found out 2 strange files, `random` and `urandom`,both of them in the /dev directory.
they appear, under a ls -l, listed with a size of `1,`; i never saw that type of nomenklature before, and when i tried to do a `more` on then, the terminal freezes until i hit `crtl z`, the `file` program reports `character special`. my question is, what are those files? can i redirect they output, if they produce any, to see the computer produce random data, is that so?.
thanks in advance.
