	After installing a new version of bind, I got the
following error in the system log:

named[82]: could not open entropy source /dev/random: file not found

	This appears to make bind9.2.1 sick.  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.
