OpenSSH can utilise Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) if your
system supports it. PAM is standard most Linux distributions, Solaris,
HP-UX 11 and AIX >= 5.2.
NB. If you operating system supports /dev/random, you should configure
OpenSSL to use it. OpenSSH relies on OpenSSL's direct support of
/dev/random. If you don't you will have to rely on ssh-rand-helper, which
is inferior to a good kernel-based solution.
