    sys/kern             kern_nrandom.c 
  Log:
  Change the seeder array from a modulo to a logical AND, improving performance
  and allowing us to overflow the index variable without overflowing the
  array.
  
  Implement seeding via writes to /dev/random.  Seeding is only allowed
  if the kern.seedenable sysctl is set to 1 (defaults to 0), and the securelevel
  is less then or equal to 0.  Note that the random number generator also
  self-seeds to some degree.
  
  Writing to /dev/random is no longer a sink null.  Writing to /dev/urandom
  is no longer allowed at all.
  
  Modify the seeding code to mix a few of the bits with PNG feedback to reduce
  the possibility of seeding-based attacks.
  
  Intentionally feed /dev/urandom back into /dev/random for a bit, then run
  DIEHARD to test for any obvious screwups.  Passes DIEHARD.
