    Hi all,

    using FBSD 4.9 I want to choose another RNG, because I have to
    following line in the logs when starting IPSec:

            WARNING: pseudo-random number generator used for IPsec processing

    Against popular believe[1] the Handbook or the random(4) manpage
    does not mention how to switch to another RNG.

    I have set the variable $rand_irqs accordingly.

    Thx in advance.

    /Holger
