Hi.

This is just a cosmetic thingy and probably only affects certain
platforms (e.g. Linux):

The ChrootDirectory directive in sshd_config(5) says
this:
>For an interactive session this requires at least
>a shell, typically sh(1), and basic /dev nodes such
>as null(4), zero(4), stdin(4), stdout(4), stderr(4),
>arandom(4) and tty(4) devices
Well stdin(4), stdout(4), stderr(4) don't exist on e.g. Linux either
(talking about the manpages themselves),... but I guess the arandom is
something one could really correct (respectively name alternative names
as well), since it's not only the manage the is missing, but the file
as well (guess only BSDs have arandom?)


Cheers,
Chris.

just one thing:
on those platforms that don't have arandom(4), isn't something else
needed instead (like urandom or so), that should be mentioned?
