I meant to point if=jailroot/dev/random. Testing /dev/random for the
host OS isn't going to be too meaningful.

Thanks Chris,

I figured out what you meant.  ;)

I think with all my playing I managed to put a symlink in the dev directory that I can't get out.

I will try to do a reinstall of the machine and try all the suggestions on a clean environment.

Tony
