When i try to generate a key on a headless machine (no kbd, no mouse,
no Human Input Device (HID) at all), `monkeysphere gen-key` hangs for
able to resolve it on the first one by plugging in a keyboard and
"massaging" it. This won't work for a machine that's out of physical
range, and has no keyboard to be plugged in anyway.

+One thing that might help is to suggest that the system administrator
+install a package like `bsdgames` and play console-based games as a
+non-privileged user, since that seems to feed the entropy count
+somewhat.
