Actually, I'd go with - why can't /dev/random be "fed" as the last thing that happens before single user mode? I think that otherwise it's going to bite people who have to use single user mode for a recovery, but don't remember that they have to feed /dev/random. I'm kinda hoping that's already on the plan :) -- Rob | Oh my God! They killed init! You bastards!Received on Thu Apr 15 2004 - 21:16:54 UTC
