Hi,
When you let OpenSSH use the egd protocol directly it will get its entropy from
an egd daemon. Otherwise it uses /dev/random. When you use ekeyd-egd-linux then
you feed the entropy from the egd daemon to the pool used for /dev/random. That
way you are not completely dependent on the egd

again, to add some input to my own question - i happened to be
compiling openssh and found this in the install doc:
NB. If you operating system supports /dev/random, you should configure
OpenSSL to use it. OpenSSH relies on OpenSSL's direct support of
/dev/random, or failing that, either prngd or

XORring predictable data to random data does not yield a predictable
result. /dev/random is world
