I use the box a home VPN gateway with max 3 users at the same
time, so througput is not an issue.  However, according to the
manpage I can switch to the /dev/urandom RNG, while configuring
the "entropy pool" with the $rand_irqs in /etc/rc.conf.

Can someone please tell me how to switch to /dev/urandom?

Thx.
