As for the orer part, why did it stop, i really have no clue. All the messages
arrived at root's mailbox at 5:57, tho the date in them said that they were
sent at 5:50.
It's really strange because I was locked out from the computer at 2:29, so
it's not something I did. and there's nothing that cron runs at that time.
by the way:
the mails that i got were not only about /var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.2, but
/var/db/entropy/saved-entropy.{1,2,3,4,5,6,8} as well

Real programmers don't document. If it was hard to write, it should be hard to
understand.
