TBH, I'm not actually sure what all the code in /etc/init.d/urandom is supposed to do and why SAVEDSIZE is necessary at all. that said, given your code above, I get differing results for this simple example: $ echo foo > /tmp/bar $ find /tmp/bar -printf %s 4 $ ls -s --block-size=1 /tmp/bar | cut -d' ' -f1 4096 -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
