Yes, I consider switching to /dev/urandom on all archs.

There is confusion over whether the config file is /etc/ser.cfg or /etc/ser/ser.cfg. The ser man page erroneously says the -f default is ./ser.cfg instead of /etc/...
The default config file is /usr/local/etc/ser/ser.cfg on solaris, *bsd or linux (if you build it by hand). If you use a linux package (deb or rpm) the config is in /etc/ser/ser.cfg and ser is installed directly in /usr.
man page errors: Under FILES: it lists /etc/ser/ser.cfg instead of /etc/ser.cfg -which is correct? Also, /usr/sbin/ser should be /usr/local/sbin/ser Also, /usr/lib/ser/modules/* is really /usr/local/lib/ser/modules/*
Well this is because the path is different depending on how you install it. Since most people use pre-packaged versions, or compile the package themselves this works for them. Some on-man-page install sed script would be needed to fix this.
