Hola Mondo!
The New /dev/random device is in but there are come caveats.
1) It is not yet cryptographically secure, so those of you using
CURRENT for "live" projects, please be careful!
2) If you do not have the randomdev module loaded, ssh will
fail in strange and creative ways (like RSA or DH not working
for strange reasons).
3) It is not built by default (except as a kernel module), so you
either need to add the "options RANDOMDEV" like to your kernel
config, or load it at boot time in /dev/loader.conf
4) Make sure that you update your /etc area (mergemaster is your
friend). The rndcontrol(8) utility is now OBE, and no longer of
relevance.
You have been warned!
