Those are both good. Recent versions of bind are now using OpenSSL for random number generation and not /dev/random or /dev/urandom. Since the old version still works the /dev devices are obviously working.

This is on a CentOS 6.10 machine. I ran into the same issue on CentOS 7 and was able to fix it by making sure that rngd is running before the named service starts. That same fix is not working for CentOS 6. I'm at a loss as to how to fix this and Google is failing me now. The error in the log says: Sep 17 18:59:08 nsm named[3926]: openssl_link.c:296: fatal error: Sep 17 18:59:08 nsm named[3926]: OpenSSL pseudorandom number generator cannot be initialized (see the `PRNG not seeded' message in the OpenSSL FAQ) Does any one have any ideas of what I'm missing or what I can do to resolve this (besides upgrading this box to CentOS 7)? -Christopher _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org<mailto:bind-users@lists.isc.org> https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
