[Bug 380] New: SSH compiled to use EGD.PL won't start without it!!
http://cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/webtools/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=380 Summary: SSH compiled to use EGD.PL won't start without it!! Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: -current Platform: UltraSparc OS/Version: Solaris Status: NEW Severity: major Priority: P2 Component: sshd AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org ReportedBy: list_7531 at hotmail.com Hi, I'm trying to start SSHD / SSH and they won't start. I am using version 3.4.1p1 which I compiled with the "with-rand-helper" option. Unfortunately my EGD.pl script is presently malfunctioning, and SSH and SSHD report "not enough entropy" then quit. I also get this problem with version 3.2.3.p3 which I compiled with the "with-rand-helper" option. Please let me know if you are able to add a "force-no-egd" option to make SSH run using the SSH internal entropy routines (as if it had been compiled without the "with-rand-helper" option). (In the meantime, I should be able to compile another set of SSH programs, without the "with-rand-helper" option.) Would this issue make a denial-of-service situation possible?
