I can't comment officially but I'm sure you won't be dissapointed in the
future ;-)

The /dev/random that comes with the iPlanet stuff I believe is the
cryptorandd implmenation from the SUNWski package, I'm not sure of its
quality but I have heard reporsts that PRNGd is better but an in kernel
/dev/random (and /dev/urandom for that matter) is much more likely to
give better randomness.
