zpin: please stop telling people to use such patch, since it reduces the effectiveness of ispCP's security (if we were to use urandom it'd be easier to use perl's pseudo random number generator instead)

Even though urandom (or the perl random generater) might be might be less random than /dev/random I consider it practically impossible for anyone to exploit this fact. It is more likely that an attacker accesses some software installation during setup when the admin has no yet set up a proper admin account and - by mistake - made the setup publicly accessible than that he can calculate the random number.
I for one was glad to finally have the make install complete. The different cat X > /dev/random somehow didn't work for me.
