From 3bbfa62b632ebcb309e75f8212f4e3b53797cadf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: dougb Date: Sun, 14 Jan 2001 07:18:31 +0000 Subject: Move the process of storing entropy from /dev/random and reseeding with it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version. * Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy * Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems to be a better default, although still bikeshed material. * Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random a better chance of running without blocking early. * Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point immediately after the disks are mounted. * Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the possibility of accidentally overwriting something other than a regular file. --- etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist | 4 ---- 1 file changed, 4 deletions(-) (limited to 'etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist') diff --git a/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist b/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist index 0fc9833..e6e9a4d 100644 --- a/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist +++ b/etc/mtree/BSD.root.dist @@ -5,10 +5,6 @@ /set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755 . -/set type=dir uname=operator gname=operator mode=0700 - .entropy - .. -/set type=dir uname=root gname=wheel mode=0755 bin .. boot -- cgit v1.1
