Add a system to save entropy from /dev/random periodically so that it can be used to reseed at boot time. This will greatly increase the chances that there will be sufficient entropy available at boot time to prevent long delays. For /etc/rc, remove the vmstat and iostat runs from the attempt to provide some cheesy randomness if the files fail, since those programs are dynamically linked, and ldd seems to want some randomness to do its magic. Guidance and parameters for this project were provided by Mark Murray, based on the requirements of the Yarrow algorithm. Some helpful suggestions for implementation (including the tip about iostat and vmstat) were provided by Sheldon Hearn. All blame for problems or mistakes is mine of course.

1. Use install -d to create the entropy_dir if missing so that we can do it all in one command, with no permissions race. 2. Simplify the rotation logic by cd'ing into the directory, with a test to make sure that it succeeds. 3. Remove any files numbered higher than entropy_save_num. This helps when the user reduces the number, and may be useful for other purposes down the road. 4. Simplify the rotation logic by first testing the common case (it's a regular file) then testing if something else exists with the same name using elif. Also switch from using jot to simpler countdown format. 5. Fix logger lines and error messages to be more consistent, and wrap the code more consistently in the 80 column range. The "not a regular file" error message was mistakenly wrapped entirely in "quotes" which caused logger to include line-wrapping whitespace. Change that to wrap only the variables in quotes, which is both consistent and works better. 6. Update copyright to reflect the fact that changes were made this year. Parts of 2-4 were taken from etc/periodic/daily/310.accounting

# Originally developed by Doug Barton, dougb@FreeBSD.org
Move the process of storing entropy from /dev/random and reseeding with it at boot time closer to the way we want it to be in the final version. * Move the default directory to /var/db/entropy * Run the entropy saving cron job every 11 minutes. This seems to be a better default, although still bikeshed material. * Feed /dev/random some cheesy "entropy" from various commands and files before the disks are mounted. This gives /dev/random a better chance of running without blocking early. * Move the reseeding with previously stored entropy to the point immediately after the disks are mounted. * Make the harvesting script a little safer in regards to the possibility of accidentally overwriting something other than a regular file.

1. Attempt to take one bullet out of the foot-shooting gun by silently ignoring errors when sourcing rc.conf* files. The most common error occurs when users put a command of some sort into those files. (ifconfig is a popular choice) 2. Make the file rotation logic simpler by starting one down from the "top" of the list, rather than at the top. 3. Try to make file rotation more secure by calling unlink(1) on all new file names before rotating an old file to the new name, rather than merely calling 'rm -f' on any files that exceed the number of files to save.
