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.

It seems I find the problem area. 4096 bytes written in rc.shutdown are not enough for reseeding. When I change them to 16384 bytes, it works!

BTW, 16384 is _minimal_ value, all lower values _not_ cause reseeding. I don't know, why.
