I am running on OpenBSD and Linux, both of which have cryptographic-quality RNGs built in. When I call RANDOM() in PG, do I get the old C library random numbers, which are not very random, or do I get high-quality random numbers from the crypto-RNG that's built in? Any sugestions for getting high-quality random numbers?
