Either I don't understand this, or it is not working
properly.

I am using 5-Stable, not Current, so the 'cleanvar'
is not there. So in /etc/rc.d/sshd I have this line:

   # REQUIRE: LOGIN random

I then do:

  /etc/rc.d/random stop
  /etc/rc.d/sshd stop
  /etc/rc.d/sshd start

But the random script is not executed. I have added
a echo statement in the random_start() function,
but nothing is printed out.
It seems that random is not started at all when sshd
is started.
Or do I misunderstand something here?

Rob.
