Miscellaneous Notes
-------------------
-lib/uuid.c, used in OVSDB, assumes that it can obtain a high-quality
-random number seed at startup by reading from /dev/urandom. You may
-need to modify it if this is not true on your platform.
+lib/entropy.c assumes that it can obtain high-quality random number
