# cd /dev
# ls -l | grep random
crw-------    1 root     system       35,  0 May 04 10:43 random
crw-------    1 root     system       35,  1 May 04 10:43 urandom
# chmod 644 random
# chmod 644 urandom
# ls -l | grep random
crw-r--r--    1 root     system       35,  0 May 04 10:43 random
crw-r--r--    1 root     system       35,  1 May 04 10:43 urandom
