openssh unix dev - Mar 2002 - [Bug 163] New: /dev/random not used

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=163

           Summary: /dev/random not used
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 3.1p1
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: geek+openssh at cmu.edu


Solaris8 with SUNWski installed (provides /dev/random).
Symptom: "./configure --with-random=/dev/random" yields 
checking whether OpenSSL's headers match the library... yes
checking whether OpenSSL's PRNG is internally seeded... no
configure: WARNING: *** Forcing use of OpenSSL's non-self-seeding PRNG

Checking the configure script, it no longer accepts --with-random, and
doesn't
check /dev/random (or /dev/urandom for that matter).  The INSTALL file still
indicates that this should work.  I attempted to work around the problem with
"--with-prngd-socket=/dev/random" to no avail.
