CVS commit: src/bin/sh



Module Name:    src
Committed By:   kre
Date:           Mon Jan 21 14:09:24 UTC 2019

Modified Files:
        src/bin/sh: sh.1

Log Message:
Add an explanation of the error (warning)
        RANDOM initialisation failed
when the shell might print after RANDOM has been reseeded
(which includes at sh startup) the next time RANDOM is accessed.
It indicates that /dev/urandom was not available or did not
provide data - in that case, sh uses a (weak) seed made out of
the pid and time (but otherwise nothing else changes).
