If you are using FreeBSD 4.x, visit * * http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/randomness.html for * * information on how to set up entropy gathering. Users * * of FreeBSD 5.x or later do not need to do this step. If * * you are running BIND 9 in a chroot environment, make * * sure that there is a /dev/random device in the chroot. * * * * The easiest, and most secure way to configure rndc is * * to run 'rndc-confgen -a' which will generate the proper * * conf file, with a new random key, and appropriate file * * permissions. * * * *************************************************************************
