Hi There
I downloaded a copy of already compiled version of Openssh for
Solaris 8 from sunfreeware.com and had some problem of trying to start it.
No matter which program I tried to start e.g. ssh, sshd, ssh-agent,
ssh-keygen etc etc. It always come back with an error message
"PRNG initialisation failed -- exiting."
My system is SUN E3500 with Solaris 8 10/00.
Can anyone suggest a solution ???
Please email me as I have no access to the mail group.

Grab a copy of the source and get it from there, or just compile and install from source entirely. -- Richard Silverman slade at shore.net
