Hi all,

using FBSD 4.9 I want to choose another RNG, because I have to
following line in the logs when starting IPSec:

	WARNING: pseudo-random number generator used for IPsec processing

Against popular believe[1] the Handbook or the random(4) manpage
does not mention how to switch to another RNG.

I have set the variable $rand_irqs accordingly.

Thx in advance.

/Holger
