openssh unix dev - Jun 2000 - FreeBSD 4.0 and openssh 2.1.0p3

I just got OpenSSH 2.1.0p3 compiled on a FreeBSD 4.0 (generic off the CD),
but I had to comment out the fake socket stuff in ssh.h and openbsd-compat.h,
and sshd doesn't seem to like /dev/random.

My configure option was just :

./configure --with-random=/dev/random

Is the above what I'd expect to have to do, or have I got a bodgey
install/path? :)

I finally have had time to port up to 2.1.0p3 and hope to have an other
rough patch.

However, I'm having problems getting enough randomness to run sshd.  The
problem lies in the fact this NeXT box will never really ever be very
busy. I may end up having to move back to egd.pl.  Which I don't want
to.

Any advice?

What was the exact problem here?

FreeBSD maintain their own port of OpenSSH which is likely to be better
tested. As such we don't get a whole lot of FreeBSD reports.
