To find out why the ssh-key command runs through getpid() and time() would
probable need utilization of a debugger, stepping through it.
Anyway: I suppose you are talking about ssh-keygen (with 'gen' at the end).
The choice of the entropy source is made at "configure" time, so installing
EGD/PRNGD after configure/make does not change the binaries.
The actual choice is listed at the end of the "configure" run. Please make
sure that all data are correct.
Best regards,
