Seems so. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsof -n |grep named |grep random named 24763 named 5r CHR 1,8 402654872 /dev/random [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# service named reload Przeładowanie usługi Named....................................... [ ZROBIONE ] [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# lsof -n |grep named |grep random named 24763 named 5r CHR 1,8 402654872 /dev/random no complains in log. For testing I also deleted /var/lib/named/dev/null - so far no problems. -- Arkadiusz Miśkiewicz PLD/Linux Team arekm / maven.pl http://ftp.pld-linux.org/ _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
