Hi all:

what exactly is this entropy thing? it seems to be
killing some processes such as sshd

freebsd# /etc/rc.d/sshd start
/etc/rc.d/sshdÑ WARNING: Setting entropy source to
blocking mod.
==================================================
......
Just hit <enter> for fast+insecure startup

==================================================

i am using 5.3. how can i use it? can i disable it?

mike
