FreeBSD 4.0 and openssh 2.1.0p3
I just got OpenSSH 2.1.0p3 compiled on a FreeBSD 4.0 (generic off the CD),
but I had to comment out the fake socket stuff in ssh.h and openbsd-compat.h,
and sshd doesn't seem to like /dev/random.

My configure option was just :

./configure --with-random=/dev/random

Is the above what I'd expect to have to do, or have I got a bodgey
install/path? :)

What was the exact problem here?

FreeBSD maintain their own port of OpenSSH which is likely to be better
tested. As such we don't get a whole lot of FreeBSD reports.
