I have looked through the list (I am new to this list) and saw some mention of the /dev/random. However I have a strange problem that was not mentioned. After I did a proper make world and updated my system to 5.0-CURRENT, my /dev/random services do not "start ?". So if I where to do a make depend or start vi etc... anything that needs this device it will hang and wait. Now if I do someting like echo "100" >> /dev/random then it pops into service. Why ? I have remade all my devices in /dev and added: device random # Entropy device options NOBLOCKRANDOM # avoid any blocking on device random options to my kernel and rebuilt it, however this does not seem to help. any help would be greatly apprecieated. thank you nathan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
