[rhelv6-list] Random seed on stateless system

[Andrew Ruch]

Hello,

I have a question about how the handle the random-seed file on a
stateless system. I get RHEL6 installed and configured as desired and
then switch to a stateless system using /etc/sysconfig/readonly-root.
During the install process, /var/lib/random-seed is generated. This
file is also read and written to during startup/shutdown via
rc.sysinit and halt.

However, once the system is stateless, this file can never be modified
again. Is it better for this file to exist on a stateless system and
every boot will feed /dev/urandom the same seed? Or should this file
be deleted so no seed exists?

Thanks,
Andrew Ruch
