Subject: Print a warning message if the files with the random seed are not
X-Git-Url: http://artulab.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=7b98704395c82fe42462b32bd9f6ef351deab5b4;p=openbsd

Print a warning message if the files with the random seed are not
writeable during shutdown.  This prevents ugly error messages when
the machine is rebooted from singe-user without mounting the file
systems read-write.
