/etc/rc.d/sshd : "kldload random" missing?

2005-04-17 Thread Rob
Hi, I noticed that 'random.ko' module is required by ssh, especially when running the server sshd. However, the sshd script in /etc/rc.d does not verify the pressence of the random.ko module and neither loads it if necessary. Shouldn't that be added? I bring this up, since I have observed that t

PXE booting a 5.4-RC2 system ...

So I'm playing with 5.4-RC2. I can get the system to PXE boot into a normal full base system environment just fine, all the way to multiuser. However, for system installs, we've historically PXE booted the boot floppy images and then proceeded to do NFS or FTP based installs. So I set off to do
