Verify that random calls are seeded and used appropriately

A recent issue with weak randomization used by the dhclient part of the ISC DHCP project is a good reminder that we should examine PRNG use in each of ISC's open source projects to ensure that we are using (pseudo-)randomness appropriately.

Please treat this ticket as:

  • a reminder to review PRNG use in your project to ensure that it is used properly
  • a request to report on the status of that review, so that users who search for this ticket can satisfy themselves that we have checked our usage and believe it to be reasonable.
