If you are planning to use OpenSSH on a Unix which lacks a Kernel random
number generator (/dev/urandom), you may want to install the Entropy
Gathering Daemon (or similar). You will also need to specify the
--with-egd-pool option to ./configure. OpenSSH 2.0 includes some
peliminary built-in randomness collection, but it is not as well
tested as EGD.
The Entropy Gathering Daemon (EGD) is supported if you have a system which
lacks /dev/random and don't want to use OpenSSH's internal entropy collection.

--with-egd-pool=/some/file allows you to enable Entropy Gathering
Daemon support and to specify a EGD pool socket. You may want to
use this if your Unix does not support the /dev/urandom device (or

This is the port of OpenBSD's excellent OpenSSH to Linux and other
Unices.

This port consists of the re-introduction of autoconf support, PAM
support (for Linux and Solaris), EGD[1] support, SOCKS support (using
the Dante [6] libraries and replacements for OpenBSD library functions
that are (regrettably) absent from other unices. This port has been
best tested on Linux, Solaris, HPUX, NetBSD and Irix. Support for AIX,
SCO, NeXT and other Unices is underway. This version actively tracks
changes in the OpenBSD CVS repository.

The PAM support is now more functional than the popular packages of
commercial ssh-1.2.x. It checks "account" and "session" modules for
all logins, not just when using password authentication.
OpenSSH depends on Zlib[2], OpenSSL[3] and optionally PAM[4] and
Dante[6]. To build the GNOME[5] pass-phrase requester
(--with-gnome-askpass), you will need the GNOME libraries installed.
