@ -31,6 +31,10 @@ If you must use a non-position-independent libcrypto, then you may need
to configure OpenSSH --without-pie. Note that due to a bug in EVP_CipherInit
OpenSSL 1.1 versions prior to 1.1.0g can't be used.
If you build either from source, running the OpenSSL self-test ("make
tests") or the LibreSSL equivalent ("make check") and ensuring that all
tests pass is strongly recommended.
NB. If you operating system supports /dev/random, you should configure
libcrypto (LibreSSL/OpenSSL) to use it. OpenSSH relies on libcrypto's
direct support of /dev/random, or failing that, either prngd or egd.
