I had this problem here on some of our servers after an o/s upgrade, and
found that the /dev/urandom file had changed permissions from 644 to 600.
ls -l /dev/urandom
crw------- 1 root system 33, 1 Jul 21 10:49 /dev/urandom
I simply changed the permissions
chmod go+r /dev/urandom
and everything worked fine.
ls -l /dev/urandom
crw-r--r-- 1 root system 33, 1 Jul 21 10:49 /dev/urandom
We had established a security-hardened umask of 077, which had odd results
here and there, especially after o/s upgrades.
Hope this is helpful.
