Hi,

ok, it seems that I missed your point in my previous post. 

My fix was just a crude hack to enable random seed on some level to get
libssh2 to work, it was never meant to be a cryptographically safe
solution. Getting a proper seed without external devices (/dev/urandom,
egd) is way out of our project scope, so I can not help you there.

It would definitely be a 'nice to have' -feature, since some platforms
are shipped without random devices.

br,
