Thanks for the URL. this is certainly very good to know when one uses
condor.
My problem, however, is not really solved, as I actually want to read
/dev/random via the remote system call (i.e. from the submitting
machine). So I do not like to replace the call, but have the
condor_shadow to use the system call as the "real" system call would be
used.
