'lil typo on my part. actually, if you trust SHA-1, it does not matter
if your net devices give zero entropy, because the SHA-1 hash of the
read from /dev/random is still unpredictable.
the problem is if you both _dont_ trust SHA-1 and _fear_ there is
less-than-estimated entropy from net devices on your network.
per Alex Bligh's suggestion, the Configure wording of the next patch
will explain this.
