This is taken from the rc.S script form Slackware... does anybody know what use does running this at entering runlevels (2, 3, 5 maybe 1) has? # Carry an entropy pool between reboots to improve randomness. # Load and then save 512 bytes, which is the size of the entropy pool. if [ -f /etc/random-seed ]; then echo "Using /etc/random-seed to initialize /dev/urandom." cat /etc/random-seed >/dev/urandom fi dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/random-seed count=1 bs=512 2> /dev/null Thanks alot, Raul
