Hello,

After reading some stuff about OpenSSH, I decided I would rather run it
than ssh-1.2.27.

However, it needs either /dev/urandom or the egd (entropy gathering
daemon) in order to run; I have a prejudice about running a Perl script as
root, so I'm wondering what it takes to get stuff from /dev/urandom, how
this differs from the kernel's /dev/random stuff, or what's a safe way to
gather entropy.

Is anyone else running OpenSSH on their 68k?

Thanks,
John Klos
