[Bug 1123] Never Completes Generating Keygen
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123 Summary: Never Completes Generating Keygen Product: Portable OpenSSH Version: 4.2p1 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ssh-keygen AssignedTo: bitbucket at mindrot.org ReportedBy: giffordj at linkline.com On a MIPS based build of OpenSSH 4.2p1, It hangs on Generating RSA1 keys during the installation. Sitting at 12+ hours without a completion. I have another Machine with OpenSSH 3.7, take about 5 minutes. Any suggestions, or information I can gather to help diagnose the issue. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

[Bug 1123] Never Completes Generating Keygen
http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123 ------- Comment #1 from dtucker at zip.com.au 2005-11-23 12:08 ------- How fast is the CPU? The default key length changed to 2048 bits in 4.1 or 4.2. Can you generate 1024-bit host keys manually, and if so how long does it take? eg # ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N "" # ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t rsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_rsa_key -N "" # ssh-keygen -b 1024 -t dsa -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_dsa_key -N "" If you have 2 similar machines, how does "openssl speed rsa" on the two compare? And did OpenSSL's self-test "make tests" pass? The other instance of "it takes forever to generate a key" I've seen were problems with certain old steppings of <= 300 MHz UltraSPARCs. Some were fine, some took many hours, so it's possible it's something specific to the problem machine. What OS is this running, BTW? ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

How long does something like this take? $ openssl rand -base64 1024 You still haven't given any kind of description of the OS you're running on... ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123 ------- Comment #5 from giffordj at linkline.com 2005-11-24 15:48 ------- It's on an LinuxFromScratch based system. One system is GCC 3, Glibc 2.3.5, OpenSSL 0.9.8a. The other is GCC4, GLIBC Snapshot, OpenSSL 0.9.8a. The time of the test you asked to run was real 0m0.234s user 0m0.115s sys 0m0.119s On both systems. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1123 ------- Comment #7 from giffordj at linkline.com 2005-12-04 20:30 ------- Finally got it to work. Looks like it was not detecting the SSL Library correctly. Once I added --with-ssl-dir=/usr everything works like a charm. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
