has anyone had a problem building 3.1p1 with Solaris 8 (2/02 release)? That release of Solaris was the first (I believe) to incorporate their own /dev/random which OpenSSH 3.1 doesn't seem to like too much. When I run the configure, it reports that Random Number Source is set to use the rand-helper. If I use the ANDIrand Solaris package as my /dev/random, It configures properly (Random Number Source is set to OpenSSL internal ONLY). Has anyone else run into this problem?

Yup ran into that problem on two of my servers here. The /dev/random via SUNWski package doesn't get picked up by the configure for openssh. Also manually defining it doesn't result in it being picked up. I've been meaning to switch to ANDIrand for those two servers so I did and everything worked out fine. Not sure why it didn't pick that up... Sincerely, Brian Friday Systems Administrator La Sierra University (909) 785-2554 x2

I don't see a /dev/random driver on Solaris 8 2/02, and can't find any mention in the release documentation.
