pls help! complex find and replace
help pls...
i would like to change this
CURVE2 565489 789458 1258649
random data here...
CURVE2 565489 568795 6548921
random data here...
CURVE2 565489 123598 6446259
random data here...
CURVE2 565489 672956 2489657
into this
CURVE2 565489 586423 1258649
random data here...
CURVE2 565489 586423 6548921
random data here...
CURVE2 565489 586423 6446259
random data here...
CURVE2 565489 586423 2489657
basically i need
CURVE2 565489 XXXXXX
into
CURVE2 565489 586423
i just want the "XXXXXX" to change into "586423" when it finds the pattern "CURVE2 565489"
thanx in advance...

My problem is this, if i have a FIFO in a directory the find tries to execute cksum on it and gets stuck.

urandom
RANDOM(4) BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual RANDOM(4)
NAME
random , urandom -- random data source devices.
SYNOPSIS
pseudo-device random
DESCRIPTION
The random device produces uniformly distributed random byte values of potentially high quality.
To obtain random bytes, open /dev/random for reading and read from it.
To add entropy to the random generation system, open /dev/random for writing and write data that you believe to be somehow random.
/dev/urandom is a compatibility nod to Linux. On Linux, /dev/urandom will produce lower quality output if the entropy pool drains, while
/dev/random will prefer to block and wait for additional entropy to be collected. With Yarrow, this choice and distinction is not necessary,
and the two devices behave identically. You may use either.
OPERATION
The random device implements the Yarrow pseudo random number generator algorithm and maintains its entropy pool. Addditional entropy is fed
to the generator regularly by the SecurityServer daemon from random jitter measurements of the kernel. SecurityServer is also responsible
for periodically saving some entropy to disk and reloading it during startup to provide entropy in early system operation.
You may feed additional entropy to the generator by writing it to the random device, though this is not required in a normal operating envi-
ronment.
LIMITATIONS AND WARNINGS
Yarrow is a fairly resilient algorithm, and is believed to be resistant to non-root. The quality of its output is however dependent on regu-
lar addition of appropriate entropy. If the SecurityServer system daemon fails for any reason, output quality will suffer over time without
any explicit indication from the random device itself.
Paranoid programmers can counter-act this risk somewhat by collecting entropy of their choice (e.g. from keystroke or mouse timings) and
seeding it into random directly before obtaining important random numbers.
