Q: What do "no source of entropy found" or "failed to open entropy source foo"
mean?
A: The server requires a source of entropy to perform certain operations,
mostly DNSSEC related. These messages indicate that you have no source
of entropy. On systems with /dev/random or an equivalent, it is used by
default. A source of entropy can also be defined using the random-device
option in named.conf.
