on a sidenote, using /dev/urandom is a bad idea. f.e. the standard
slackware install and other distros as well have the following code
in /etc/rc.d/rc.S:
# Carry an entropy pool between reboots to improve randomness.
if [ -f /etc/random-seed ]; then
echo "Using /etc/random-seed to initialize /dev/urandom."
cat /etc/random-seed > /dev/urandom
fi
# Use the pool size from /proc, or 512 bytes:
if [ -r /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize ]; then
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/random-seed count=1 bs=$(cat
/proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize) 2> /dev/null
else
dd if=/dev/urandom of=/etc/random-seed count=1 bs=512 2> /dev/null
fi
chmod 600 /etc/random-seed
