--- Comment #1 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org>  ---
If your platform supports /dev/random, and OpenSSL has been configured
to use it (if OpenSSL came with your system, or you compiled it on
there then it will almost certainly do so), then you can rely on its
internal seeding. 

If something is wrong (e.g. OpenSSL has not been configured to seed
from /dev/random) then the problem will be immediately apparent as ssh,
sshd, etc will throw loud error messages and refuse to start.
