Hi,
I installed BIND 9.0.0.1, from Port Collection, on FreeBSD 4.2-RELEASE. 
While finalizing the installation of BIND, I tried to generate a secure DNS
key with dnssec-keygen but kept getting the following message...

This is what I typed:
#dnssec-keygen -a hmac-md5 -b 128 -n user rndc

This is what I got:
#dnssec-keygen: failed to generate key rndc./57: out of entropy

Thanks,

Pio
