Reduce Weblogic startup time

This one is from my coworker:


In the jre/lib/security/java.security file for the JDK you are running WLS under look for this line:

securerandom.source=file:/dev/urandom

and change it to:

securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom

It cuts the startup time in half.  It has to do with a bug where Java interprets /dev/urandom as /dev/random which is a really slow RNG in Linux.  Adding the /./ reference is a simple workaround and makes it go back to /dev/urandom as the RNG.
