I'm a newbie on FreeBSD (9.2-RELEASE), but I think the permissions set on directory /var/db/entropy are wrong: Instead of operator:bin, it is bin:operator. I haven't touched any of these directly.
And this causes an error in /etc/crontab which calls /usr/libexec/save-entropy using user operator:
/usr/libexec/save-entropy in turn tries to access said directory /var/db/entropy:
Resulting in endless error messages in /var/log/messages like these:
Does this mean that my entropy is broken?
Code:
root:/var/db # ls -la
total 1460
drwxr-xr-x 10 root wheel 512 Dec 26 09:36 .
drwxr-xr-x 24 root wheel 512 Dec 26 10:02 ..
drwx------ 2 bin operator 512 Dec 26 10:10 entropy
And this causes an error in /etc/crontab which calls /usr/libexec/save-entropy using user operator:
Code:
*/11 * * * * operator /usr/libexec/save-entropy
/usr/libexec/save-entropy in turn tries to access said directory /var/db/entropy:

logger -is -t "$0" Cannot cd to the entropy directory: "${entropy_dir}". \
Entropy file rotation is aborted.; exit 1; }
Resulting in endless error messages in /var/log/messages like these:
Code:
