In the process of sticking in the new version of ssh on my system,
I noticed the configure script reports to me:

Random number source: OpenSSL internal ONLY

What does this mean?

I'm hoping what this means is that its going to get entropy from
/dev/random (or urandom, whatever), but can anyone confirm to this
paranoid cluebie.
