| kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings | If non-zero, do not log a warning if the 'bypass_before_seeding' knob is enabled and a request is submitted prior to initial seeding. |
| kern.random.initial_seeding.arc4random_bypassed_before_seeding | If non-zero, the random device was bypassed when initially seeding the kernel arc4random(9), because the 'bypass_before_seeding' knob was enabled and a request was submitted prior to initial seeding. |
| kern.random.initial_seeding.read_random_bypassed_before_seeding | If non-zero, the random device was bypassed because the 'bypass_before_seeding' knob was enabled and a request was submitted prior to initial seeding. |
| kern.random.initial_seeding.bypass_before_seeding | If set non-zero, bypass the random device in requests for random data when the random device is not yet seeded. This is considered dangerous. Ordinarily, the random device will block requests until it is seeded by sufficient entropy. |
