Compiling OPENssh to use random package

[emsecrist]

True. Here is a litte more detail. Once I compile openssh3.1p1 and then
install it, it is much too slow. I have openssh2.9 installed on some of my
Solaris servers that uses the ANDIrand package just fine, the connections
are quick. With openssh3.1p1, the connections are at least 2 seconds slower,
which leads me to believe that the random package is not being used for some
reason in my 3.1 compile. Thanks.

Ummm...  You'll probably not get much help with a problem description
of the form, "it does not work."  Try explaining in detail exactly
what you're doing and what symptoms you're seeing.  You might get
better results from the list that way.

Good luck!
