So, I thought about this a bit more: Say we do the following in postinst if [ -z "$2" ] ; then /lib/systemd/systemd-random-seed save fi This would create /var/lib/systemd/random-seed upon first installation. What happens though, if someone uses debootstrap to create an image which is the deployed on 100s of machines. Those images would all ship an identical /var/lib/systemd/random-seed. Isn't that a problem? Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
