[PATCH V1] initscripts/urandom: create directory before staging into it

[PATCH V1] initscripts/urandom: create directory before staging into it

[Ming Liu]

/etc/init.d/urandom fails to start/stop because it tries to save
random-seed into /var/lib/urandom folder which does not exist in the
file system.

Fixed by creating /var/lib/urandom at do_install time.

I thought this would go in volatiles, not here.

Yes, it's a alternative solution or maybe better.
I was going to put it into volatiles, but considering it's a urandom 
specific directory, so I eventually put it here.
OK, I will send the V2 as you suggest.

Hi Saul,

 From my understanding, volatiles is a configuration file which deals 
with files related with volatile storage.
Files, directories and links related to volatile storage should be in 
this file, as it's a final method to check and make sure they are 
created properly. But files under /var/lib should not there.

So in my option, this patch is ok.

Thanks,
Chen Qi

Hi, Saul:

Any comments? Should I send the V2 (put it into volatiles)?
