The error message was created from the 'optargs' variable which is only correct if the -s whatever was the last item on the command line.
General security principle, always default to the most secure option. If someone wants to -s /dev/zero the still can of course, but we assume they know what they are doing! Not all non windows platforms have a /dev/random, you can disable it on Linux if you really want to, so we check first.
Now we read from /dev/random by default, this message isn't really that important anymore.

typing '-s /dev/random' got annoying for me after a while :D
( merging this branch will pull the other one with the small bug fix in too)
