Agree. If we don't call srandom, repeatly call random binary will give 
same  random num. ie
root@localhost ~]# ./random
random num 1804289383
random num 846930886
random num 1681692777
random num 1714636915
random num 1957747793
random num 424238335
random num 719885386
random num 1649760492
random num 596516649
random num 1189641421
[root@localhost ~]# ./random
random num 1804289383
random num 846930886
random num 1681692777
random num 1714636915
random num 1957747793
random num 424238335
random num 719885386
random num 1649760492
random num 596516649
random num 1189641421
[root@localhost ~]# cat random.c
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

void main(void)
{
         int num,i;
         for (i=0;i<10;i++) {
                 num =random();
                 printf("random num %d\n", num);
         }
}
[root@localhost ~]#

So keep this maybe better.
