No thanks, I don't want to add knobs and buttons here. If people
require a different policy then I'd encourage them to build with
--with-rand-helper and build their logic into ssh-rand-helper

Damien, 
can you recheck your opinion when the rad-helper is dead?

Shouldn't this be in OpenSSL? It includes some support for a RANDFILE
environment variable, but it doesn't seem to actually use it.

I still don't like adding a knob for this in OpenSSH.
