That seems more like the least-significant 8 bits.
Note that strictly speaking, seeding srandom with time may not be
exactly
secure, but then, srandom's not a cryptographically secure RNG anyway.
More to the point, the *only* time you want to use srandom() is when
you want a reproducible set of pseudo-random numbers.
If your original objective was to obtain random numbers, you should be
reading bytes from /dev/random or similar.
