Hi all, I'm working on a patch adressing the chmod command in the current bind installation instructions (ticket #2409). So far I removed the outer curly brackets, which solves the "no such file or directory" error reported by Moody.
He also suggests in the ticket to use /dev/urandom in the rndc-confgen statement. After reading the urandom man page I'm not sure if this is a good idea. As far as I understand it this is only an issue if /dev/random runs out of entropy. I have no idea how likely this is to happen, even without the random init script from the book which helps here, as far as I understand it. The man page also states that /dev/urandom might be vulnerable to cryptography attacks. I would like to submit a patch which adresses both, but I need help with the urandom suggestion. Any thoughts about this, i.e. shall we use urandom or leave it like it is and use random?
