Re: SSH2: "PRNG is not seeded"



   Some entropy is available in /cdrom/upgrade/random.  Delete a
   sizable proportion from the start of the file before copying to
   /dev/urandom.  This is more secure than copying bash to the same
   point!

No it is not.  Not unless /cdrom/upgrade/random pulls down entropy
each time you gennerate the image, boot or whatever.  Copying from a
random point in a random file on the file-system is far more secure
then the method you noted.

Cheers.
