Actually, there is one other upgrade that's needed to make the new
rc.d/random_seed work properly in a 1.6 system

In netbsd-7 and later, rc.subr has dirname() and basename()
functions, to avoid needing the programs from /usr/bin.

basename isn't relevant to random_seed, but dirname is.

Rather than dealing with everything else that's changed in rc.subr,
you can just add dirname() as a function in the (updated) rc.d/randomseed
script (near the start, so it is defined before it gets used).

It is just ...

dirname()
{
	local file="$1"
	local dir

	case "$file" in
	/*/*)	dir="${file%/*}" ;;	# common case: absolute path
	/*)	dir="/" ;;		# special case: name in root dir
	*/*)	dir="${file%/*}" ;;	# common case: relative path with '/'
	*)	dir="." ;;		# special case: name without '/'
	esac
	command printf "%s\n" "${dir}"
}
