There's no such 'random_enable' entry in /etc/defaults/rc.conf on my 5.4-Stable system. Is this a Current only thing? Moreover, on my system, '/etc/rc.d/random rcvar' has no output at all. Adding an entry in /etc/rc.conf doesn't change that. Nevertheless, I have tried your advice, but to no avail. Rob. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?
