In the default configuration, we save some PRNG output every few minutes
(using cron) to a file in /var so that it can be re-inj
Dont these lines (random_yarrow_init function) make it available to set
"seeded" to zero?
SYSCTL_ADD_PROC(&random_clist,
SYSCTL_CHILDREN(random_sys_o),
OID_AUTO, "seeded", CTLTYPE_INT | CTLFLAG_RW,
&random_systat.seeded, 1, random_check_boolean, "I",
random_systat.seeded is exported to sysctl? isn't it?
In this case If somebody resets it to zero, some "read" goest to "block" and
before acquiring mutex it is reseeded, setting it to true, block will never
leave the cycle.

hi,
we are evaluating a Sun X2270, with 24 GB of memory.
initial boot shows:
Aug 19 09:07:51 x2270.cs.huji.ac.il kernel: real memory = 15032385536 (14336
MB)
(the date is wrong, but it auto-fixed via ntpdate later)
next reboots:
Dec 23 20:24:33 x2270.cs.huji.ac.il kernel: real memory = 17179869

Hello guys,
I've looked at FreeBSD 8.0 cryptographically secure pseudorandom
numbers generator and have a question. It looks like a bug but I'am
not sure.
In file sys/dev/randomdev.c, function random_read:
if (!random_systat.seeded)
error = (*random_systat.block)(flag);

Hi all ,
In order to improve my firewall architecture, I installed on my two
firewalls that are on linux the platforme HAProxy-Heartbeat-BRBD, now I want
to improve it further by installing the same thing on freebsd,
I installed haproxy and hearbeat without problem, but there is no DRBD
