rndc-confgen hangs on FreeBSD 4.5...

Oops you may want to try adding this to your rc.conf:

rand_irqs="9 10 11"

Thanks for your post, Mark. I did man random and then went on to look at my 
rc.conf and figured out why I couldn't get /dev/random working before. The 
rand_rqs line in rc.conf had a few garbage characters in it after the equal 
sign. I removed it and ran rndcontrol rather than rebooted to test it out 
and now I don't hang when I use the /dev/random device. I think it's 
important to use rndcontrol or rand_irqs in your rc.conf in FreeBSD or 
dnssec-keygen hangs forever.
