ssh bug? on Solaris
On Solaris, and presumably other architectures that don't have /dev/random,
there's a problem with a portion of OpenSSL that is used by OpenSSH.
The cause is line 390 in md_rand.c, which, as far as I can tell, in effect
causes everything up the line to kak if not enough entropy has been gathered.
Which is fine, except that it only seems to know about /dev/random as a
source of entropy. There seems to be egd support in openssl, but I
haven't a clue how to make it work...
