Sorry, this was my suggestion, It actually is creating /var/lib/urandom 
which should be a persistent sub-dir of /var

I was bouncing back and for about it being in the the recipe's 
do_install vs  populate volaties file, I did not see any other 
/var/lib/<dir> being created so I leaned toward this solution.  This was 
on the list a week or so ago, we could go back to itbeing created in the 
do_install()

Sau!
