You probably haven't used mergemaster(8) to update your /etc/rc script. If you don't know what mergemaster(8) is, you really need to catch up on your documentation reading. A shortcut might be to read src/UPDATING. :-) While you should really have divined this answer from the archives, it's understandable that you may not have read through every single one of the ridiculous messages that have surrounded the recent import of the new random device. When people argue fists first, it makes for a lot of noise. :-( Ciao, Sheldon. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
