Description Roman Žilka 2013-05-15 22:10:48 UTC
/etc/init.g/rngd is currently run "after random". I suppose that's because /dev/random is needed first. But that is provided by "dev", possibly. On my system there is no script called or providing "random". rngd may need to s/after random/after dev/.

Reproducible: Always

i think it meant "urandom" because that takes care of restoring the initial seed
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-05-22 05:16:30 UTC
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

Commit message: Change the after clause from "random" (which does not seem to have ever existed) to "urandom" (which has been around since very old baselayout-1 days)
