I'm sorry in advance for a cross posting, I just need to resolve this issue
a.s.a.p.

I'm using FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE and latest version of bind 9

su-2.05# dnssec-keygen -a HMAC-MD5 -b 128 -n HOST box.nexgen.com
dnssec-keygen: failed to generate key box.nexgen.com/157: out of entropy

su-2.05#

any ideas why? and how do i get around it?
