Summary: Flawed umask handling in /etc/rc.d/random
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-STABLE
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Keywords: regression
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: misc
Assignee: freebsd-b...@freebsd.org

Lu Tung-Pin reported on freebsd-current@ a couple of months ago:
| A 2014 change broke the umask handling in /etc/rc.d/random,
| leaving /entropy with ug+r permissions. Quick fix attached,
| mirroring random_stop() behavior.

A couple of patch improvements were suggested but none
of them were committed.
It would be great if one of the proposed fixes would make it into 11.1.
I've been using the original version of the patch since January and can
confirm that it works as advertised.
