freebsd stable - Apr 2005 - /etc/rc.d/sshd : "kldload random" missing?

Hi,

I noticed that 'random.ko' module is required by ssh,
especially when running the server sshd. However, the
sshd script in /etc/rc.d does not verify the pressence
of the random.ko module and neither loads it if
necessary. Shouldn't that be added?

I bring this up, since I have observed that the
nfsserver.ko module is automagically loaded by the
/etc/rc.d/nfsserver script.

Both cases seem to have some similarity.

Regards,
Rob.

Sounds like a great opportunity to submit a patch! :)
