 I ca also confirm that syslogd also accesses /dev/crypto on my amd64
 system, so this is not specific to macppc:
 
  	# fstat | grep crypto
  	paul     soffice.bin 18188   22* crypto 0xffff93f0d63431a8
  	clamav   freshclam   1349    3* crypto 0xffff93f0d63430f0
  	root     syslogd      259    5* crypto 0xffff93f0d6343038
  	#
 
 Perhaps we should update the macppc GENERIC configuration files to
 include /dev/crypto as a built-in module rather than letting it be
 auto-loaded.
