I am trying to generate a ssh_known_hosts2 file, 2.9.9p2,
using:
ssh-keyscan -f list_of_hosts -t rsa > ssh_known_hosts.rsa
and
ssh-keyscan -f list_of_hosts -t dsa > ssh_known_hosts.dsa
but both commands fail almost immidiately with:
Couldn't obtain random bytes (error 604389476)
What could that mean?
Servers that I am aware of that I query is:
OpenSSH_2.5.1p2
OpenSSH_2.5.2p2
OpenSSH_2.9p2
OpenSSH_2.9.9p2
Adding a -v to ssh-keyscan does not give much more info:
sh-keyscan -v -f list_of_hosts -t rsa
debug1: match: OpenSSH_2.9.9p2 pat ^OpenSSH
# xxxxxx.yyyy SSH-1.99-OpenSSH_2.9.9p2
Enabling compatibility mode for protocol 2.0
Couldn't obtain random bytes (error 604389476)
