A "mkserv remote" on IRIX 6.3, running 8.2.2, complained:

	Generating ssh host key.
	Initializing random number generator...
	UX:sh (/bin/sh): ERROR: w: Not found

Looks like the problem is that mkserv needs to include /usr/bsd in
the PATH.  (On IRIX, there's /usr/bsd, but no /usr/ucb).

[This does not appear to damage the ssh setup, as it's only running w
as one of several commands to generate some "environmental noise" for
the random number generator...].
