In very recent -current, my entropy file writted and readed sucessfully, but I got the same fortune quote again and again right after reboot!

It means that anything writted to /dev/random not reseed it but _reset_ it to the same default state.

How do you shutdown your machine:

a) reboot or halt b) shutdown -r now

C-A-D usually works too, as does 'init 6'. One of the oft-agreed on topics at the con is that we need a _consistent_ schedule of events for all forms of shutdown that are not explicitly "fast" shutdown paths that for whatever reason we don't want to schedule things like rc.shutdown and sync for. Expect to see conversation about this on -arch sometime soon.
