/etc/rc.d/init.d/random needs /dev/urandom to initialise kernel random number generator, which is created by this rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/25-lfs.rules: KERNEL=="urandom", MODE="0444" You can start checking if you have /dev/urandom and if you have the previous udev rule in 25-lfs.rules. Also check if you have /var/tmp directory properly installed: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -ld /var/tmp drwxrwxrwt 5 root root 4096 27 mar 13:50 /var/tmp HTH, Alessandro Alocci. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
