net-im/silc-server-0.9.18 init-script error got the following output from the script - but the daemon starts fine ... <snip> porkoo ~ # /etc/init.d/silc-server start * Starting silc-server ... sh: line 1: 4382 Broken pipe ls -afiln ~ 2>/dev/null sh: line 1: 4384 Broken pipe ls -afiln /proc 2>/dev/null </snip>
This is not my package, reassigning. Anyway, this is a "feature" in silc toolkit's code (part of which is used in silcd too), namely in lib/silccrypt/silcrng.c line 294. Every application using silc-toolkit is experiencing this "problem" - fe. I've noticed it in Silky. I've been told by one of SILC developers that this is not impairing any functionality, apart from SILC's cryptography code having less medium noise available (it is collecting noise from various commands).
I added a &>/dev/null output redirection to the init script. This should stop silc-server from displaying these errors on startup.
