[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#596480: init.d/urandom : should calculate POOLBYTES correctly

[John Denker]

Package: initscripts
Version: 2.86.ds1-61
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

We should correctly calculate the size of the random.seed to be written.

Note that /proc/sys/kernel/random/poolsize reports the number of bits,
not bytes, so a conversion factor is needed.

This is #2 in a group of 5 patches for init.d/urandom.
