Resolved arc4random: WARNING

[JonathanLee]

arc4random: WARNING: initial seeding bypassed the cryptographic random device because it was not yet seeded and the knob 'bypass_before_seeding' was enabled.

Hello fellow Netgate community members,

Does anyone know how to make this OS boot up error go away on a SG-2100MAX?

I don't know if this bug is related however FreeBSD closed it as fixed. It is still occurring on PfSense for me. . .

It's not an error it's a warning and it's expected on the 2100.
I'm not aware of any way to suppress it but let me see...

@stephenw10 did you ever find any info on this?

[stephenw10]

Ah, yes! Looks like you can set kern.random.initial_seeding.disable_bypass_warnings=1 in loader.conf.local

But that's still just a warning, there's no need to suppress it. Unless you really want to

@stephenw10 thanks

@stephenw10 just tested that worked great. Error suppressed now.
