Subject: Why is urandom not installed under /etc/rcX.d ?
Date: Wed, 26 Dec 2012 12:37:53 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <50DA7F21.7040601@windriver.com> (raw)
Hi All,
I noticed that the urandom script is deliberately disabled in our
system, although it is installed under /etc/init.d.
grep urandom initscripts_1.0.bb
install -m 0755 ${WORKDIR}/urandom ${D}${sysconfdir}/init.d
# ln -sf ../init.d/urandom ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc6.d/S30urandom
# ln -sf ../init.d/urandom ${D}${sysconfdir}/rc0.d/S30urandom
# ln -sf ../init.d/urandom ${D}${sysconfdir}/rcS.d/S55urandom
Is there any problem if it is enabled?
According to documentation in linux/drivers/char/random.c, it is used to
ensure unpredictability at system startup.
Cheers,
Chen Qi
