# Preserve the random seed between reboots. See urandom(4).
#
# This script can be called multiple times during operation (e.g. with
# "reload" argument) to refresh the seed.
# The following arguments can be added to SEEDRNG_ARGS in
# /etc/default/seedrng:
# --seed-dir=/path/to/seed/directory
# Path to the directory where the seed and the lock files are stored.
# for optimal operation, this should be a persistent, writeable
# location. Default is /var/lib/seedrng
#
# --skip-credit
# Set this to true only if you do not want seed files to actually
# credit the RNG, for example if you plan to replicate this file
# system image and do not have the wherewithal to first delete the
# contents of /var/lib/seedrng.
#
# Example:
# SEEDRNG_ARGS="--seed-dir=/data/seedrng --skip-credit"
#
DAEMON="seedrng"
SEEDRNG_ARGS=""
# shellcheck source=/dev/null
