If you experience problems, you probably need to find a better entropy source. Googling for this diagnostic yields essentially no info, so I don't know if there's something weird about my FBSD install (4.11-R). Has anyone seen this before, or have any advice on the matter? -- Brian Reichert 55 Crystal Ave. #286 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1725 USA BSD admin/developer at large
