HI ALL,

My AIX5.3 systerm does have /dev/random and /dev/urandom:

dns8:/#cd /dev
dns8:/dev#ls -l *rand*
crw-r--r--    1 root     system       39,  0 Dec 16 13:42 random
crw-r--r--    1 root     system       39,  1 Dec 16 13:42 urandom

and

dns8:/#odmget CuDvDr | grep -p random
CuDvDr:
        resource = "ddins"
        value1 = "random"
        value2 = "39"
        value3 = 

the error messages still came out as follows:

dns8:#./named -g -d 99

and I test many bind versions including 9.2.9,9.4.2-p2,9.4.3,9.5.0-p2 and 9.6.0,all the versions came out the same errors as above.

When named is running,it often hangs.All the requests were dropped.It is a issue in dnssec feature.When I disabled dnssec feature,the named runns well.

How to solve the problem?

thanks.
harry
