Public bug reported:
DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/haveged are not recognized due to '--' in
/etc/init.d/haveged
man bash: "A -- signals the end of options and disables further option
processing. "
I wanted to set the write_wakeup_threshold to 1024 bits in /etc/default/haveged,
e.g. DAEMON_OPTS="-w 1024"
This should modify /proc/sys/kernel/random/write_wakeup_threshold, but
it doesn't.
