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
