I assume that the '18' in the amdump logfile is coming from this line:
seedstr=`head 18 /dev/urandom | uuencode - | head -n 2 | tail -1`
and that this is probably a result of non-portable shell (or, in this
case, 'head') syntax.
You can replace all of those 'head NN' with 'sed' invocations, using
the sed expression 'NNq'. Getting only a specific line is a bit more
complicated, involving deleting everything up to that line. So that
line would look like
seedstr=`sed -e '18q' /dev/urandom | uuencode - | sed -e '2q;1d'`
If you get this working, I would love to include the result in the
next release. Thanks for persevering!
