openssh unix dev - Mar 2002 - [Bug 149] --with-random=[FILE] no longer available

The best fix is to rebuild OpenSSL with support for /dev/random built-in. That
way all libcrypto-using apps will automatically pick up support for it.

As a workaround you can do this:

cat << EOF >> ssh-rand-helper.devrandom
#!/bin/sh

dd if=/dev/random bs=48 count=1 2>/dev/null
EOF

./configure [options] --with-rand-helper
make
cp ssh-rand-helper.devrandom ssh-rand-helper
make install
