Hi,
I don't know much about FreeBSD or running BIND on it, but I
remembered that I saw this in the BIND FAQ:
Q:
I have FreeBSD 4.x and "rndc-confgen -a" just sits there.
A:
/dev/random is not configured. Use rndcontrol(8) to tell the kernel to
use certain interrupts as a source of random events. You can make this
permanent by setting rand_irqs in /etc/rc.conf.
/etc/rc.conf
rand_irqs="3 14 15"
See also http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/randomness.html
(from http://www.isc.org/index.pl?/sw/bind/FAQ.php)
Could this be your problem?
Stefan.
