Hi.

This is just a cosmetic thingy and probably only affects certain
platforms (e.g. Linux):

The ChrootDirectory directive in sshd_config(5) says this:
>For an interactive session this requires at least
>a shell, typically sh(1), and basic /dev nodes such
>as null(4), zero(4), stdin(4), stdout(4), stderr(4),
>arandom(4) and tty(4) devices

Well stdin(4), stdout(4), stderr(4) don't exist on e.g. Linux either
(talking about the manpages themselves),... but I guess the arandom is
something one could really correct (respectively name alternative names
as well), since it's not only the manage the is missing, but the file
as well (guess only BSDs have arandom?)


Cheers,
Chris.
