Hey,
Thanks for reviewing!
As far as I know, similar to OpenBSD, in FreeBSD entropy is not a stat
that's useful (or readily available) since both use prng schemes that
deal with low available entropy. [1] There is a way to inspect whether
the random device is properly seeded or will block. But that wouldn't
be the same as what slstatus does for Linux.
