DES_random_key() generates a random key. The PRNG must be seeded

of the library, DES_random_key() did not generate secure keys.

In OpenSSL 0.9.7, all des_ functions were renamed to DES_ to avoid
clashes with older versions of libdes. Compatibility des_ functions
are provided for a short while, as well as crypt().

Declarations for these are in <openssl/des_old.h>. There is no DES_
variant for des_random_seed().
This will happen to other functions
as well if they are deemed redundant (des_random_seed() just calls
RAND_seed() and is present for backward compatibility only), buggy or
already scheduled for removal.
