Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-59.2
I noticed that /var/lib/urandom/random-seed had a modify date in July (or
June?) 2014, i.e. more than a year old, on my debian sid system
(packages up2date) which I reboot every few days/weeks.
On another system, xubuntu 15.04 (version 2.88dsf-53.2), the date of that
file is August 06 2015, which is the date I installed the system. I reboot
that one daily.
To make sure it's not simply a timestamp that doesn't get updated, I
compared the files between two reboots.
Is that normal behaviour?
Cheers
Joern
