Somehow sysv init never ran into this issue. Maybe it's okay to let the kernel seed its entropy pool before initializing your hash table.

- Foxboron 6y agoI don't think sysvinit made use of hashtables, and if they did they would probably hit the same snag.
- aidenn0 6y agosysvinit (or rather RC systems often built on top of it) tended to use trees (most often the filesystem). Unlike hash-tables, trees don't need randomness to guarantee asymptotic behavior.
