I'm not knocking anyone or any code, especially considering this IS -current... BUT... I don't need to read the code to know that I am seeing the same fortunes on first login after reboot more often than I can attribute to random chance. Maybe nanotime is being harvested, but it seems that there is a time lag between system startup and reaching a state of "true pseudo-entropy". Also, every reboot has entropy caching failing to work. I don't know if this is a product of the broken reseeding or what, because the /etc/rc files seem to be fine.
How exactly are you rebooting? If you're using the 'reboot' command, that explains why entropy reseeding is not working. As has been discussed several times on -current, you only run rc.shutdown if you use another method, like 'shutdown -r now', 'init 6', or even the trust three-finger salute.
Good luck,
Doug
