Making the device node accessible to non-root users

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

By default, only user root can read from the PRNG device. Your distribution might extend the access to other users.

If access to the device is restricted to root on your system and your distribution uses udev, add the following udev rule. It automatically extends access to the device to other users.

               KERNEL=="prandom",              MODE="0444", OPTIONS="last_rule"

If access to the device is restricted to root on your system and your distribution does not use udev, use the chmod command to make the device available to other users.
