A search threw up a similar problem on Alpha, with someone trying to use IRQ 20 - the reply was effectively "This has changed loads, so it won't be fixed in -STABLE". rndcontrol also lacks things like listing devices adding to the pool, and stats on the pool, which, for example, NetBSD's rndctl(8) provides. That also uses device names over IRQ's, which is much nicer than using IRQ numbers imo. -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
