cctransport errors on reboot

Are these safe to ignore?

Yes, it is safe to ignore them. If /dev/random doesn't return enough bits before the timeout, the code that is doing this (in cctransport) will just use an internal implementation for what it is trying to do rather then depending on the data from /dev/random.

Yes, they are safe to ignore.

There is no problem.

We are reading several Kbytes from /dev/random to provide

entropy for the SSL key, and the read can fail to provide the

requested number of bytes on systems that haven't been up

for very long. This read error is currently logged and will not

be in subsequent versions.
