Well, for starters, it should be
if(src.random == 1)
sense thats what you defined the var as.

rand() is a built in proc, not a variable as you seem to think it is in your snippet. You shouldn't make an atom variable for it; only local variables to hold the value.

mob/Login()
    ..()
    switch(rand(1,2)) //in this case, switch is even better...
        if(1) Move(locate(123,7,2))
        if(2) Move(locate(107,7,2))

Even better, you can use a quick pick(). :D 
mob/Login()
    ..()
    src.Move(locate(pick(123,107),7,2))

(Though you'll most likely want something a little more reliable than Move() for this kind of movement, at the very least making sure it occurs with a followup direct loc set.)

I was just thinking about the pick() proc actually! >.<
