https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=277601 Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |jlduran@FreeBSD.org --- Comment #2 from Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> --- Created attachment 254993 --> https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=254993&action=edit Overlayed /etc/rc.d/random While that is one alternative, it might also need setting entropy_dir="NO", to disable caching entropy via cron. There are a few systems where I definitely need the entropy file, and have a patch similar to the one attached. For some reason, I do not like my patch. I guess my main fear is the wear it can exert on some devices, but I'm sharing it here, just in case it could work for your use case. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
