  Much as feared, it's not that easy.  :-)

open("/dev/urandom", O_RDONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_NOCTTY) = 5
pollsys(0xFFBFF4C0, 1, 0xFFBFF558, 0x00000000)  = 1
read(5, " vEE OC915EA } @A7F2D0F4".., 32)       = 32
close(5)                                        = 0

  both the client and server are able to read from /dev/urandom...

  Thanks for the suggestions and your time.
