It's a bug in the FreeBSD /dev/random device and it's support (or non support) of non-blocking mode in older versions of FreeBSD. It's "harmless" to bind, so long as your not using it's security features etc. (i.e. signed zones tsig et'al). For more details either search Google for the error - or have a hunt around the Bind/ISC website, Regards, -Karl Pielorz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
