I would prefer too, since GNU libc doesn't have a definition for arc4random, something like OsRandom() would be definitely better. You should also specify known output range for the PRNG: rand() returns an int in range [0..RAND_MAX] while arc4random() returns an uint32_t with range [0..2^32-1]. (Let me introduce you to "hasard" library, a portable random generator library: http://bitbucket.org/haypo/hasard/wiki/Home http://bitbucket.org/haypo/hasard/ This library could be use to wrote a portable OsRandom(), with a fast, non secure PRNG.)
