 The random number code will also read and save a seed file to
 ~/.ssh/prng_seed. This contents of this file are added to the random
-number generator at startup. The goal here is to maintain as much

 randomness between sessions as possible.
 
 The default entropy collection code has two main problems:
 
 1. It is slow.
 
-Executing each program in the list can take a large amount of time,   
-especially on slower machines. Additionally some program can take a   
-disproportionate time to execute.

-Tuning the default entropy collection code is difficult at this point.
-It requires doing 'times ./ssh-rand-helper'  and modifying the
-($etcdir)/ssh_prng_cmds until you have found the issue.  In the next
-release we will be looking at support '-v' for verbose output to allow
-easier debugging.
+Tuning the random helper can be done by running ./ssh-random-helper in
+very verbose mode ("-vvv") and identifying the commands that are taking
+excessive amounts of time or hanging altogher.  Any problem commands can
+be modified or removed from ssh_prng_cmds.
 
 The default entropy collector will timeout programs which take too long
 to execute, the actual timeout used can be adjusted with the
