/dev/random now has good entropy collection (from the keyboard
and sysmouse drivers). Please ensure that either `options
RANDOMDEV' is present in your kernel config file or that
`randomdev_load="YES"' is in your /boot/loader.conf. If you do
not have the /dev/random driver, OpenSSL (and consequently
lots of crypto tools (like SSH)) will fail with strange
errors. (see below, 20000624).

phk made the default options AJ. This may slow things down
and uncover other latent bugs in the code. If you need to run
at full speed, you can disable this by doing the following:
ln -s aj /etc/malloc.conf

libftpio's version was accidentally bumped a few days ago. This
has been corrected. You may need to remove /usr/lib/libftpio.so.6
