Package: sendmail
Version: 8.13.6-1
Severity: important

On GNU/kFreeBSD, /dev/urandom is a symlink to /dev/random.  However, /dev/random
has the standard Linux urandom semantics, therefore making /dev/urandom
acceptable for use by sendmail.  However, without setting HASURANDOMDEV, I have
no ability to use STARTTLS, which I would very much like to use.

Essentially, all you have to do is place the following lines in the appropriate
part of the conf.h file:

#ifndef HASURANDOMDEV
#define HASURANDOMDEV 1
#endif

If you want me to generate a patch, I can, but I thought this would be fairly
trivial to do

Thank you very much.  You have been very helpful WRT GNU/kFreeBSD.
