I simply assumed it should be there by the looks
of /etc/rc.d/random_seed, where the load function doesn't delete the
file.  If the file is removed afterwards as a security measure I'm all
for it, though.

I also had no idea about the relation with boot.cfg, but I did see the
rndseed option there after it was mentioned here, thanks for the
mention.

Thanks,
