I tried installed sshd awhile back and realized the kernel isn't compiled
with /dev/random or /dev/urandom.  After seeing the comment in the GENERIC
kernel config I decided to drop the entire idea. Just how expermimental is
random? 'Almost pseudo random' is ok.. I just don't want it taking the
machine down. Anyone using it? Has it caused any problems?

# rnd is EXPERIMENTAL at this point.
#pseudo-device  rnd                     # /dev/random and in-kernel
generator
