This system was recently upgraded to FreeBSD4.5 and seemed okay until now. I was able to upgrade three other systems to 4.5 and they all have /dev/random. A look at the kernel configuration does not even have the letters rand in any form in the configuration so it isn't like I missed it or something. What should I look for to get /dev/random fixed as this system can't seem to do zone transfers or update other name servers any longer.
