openssh unix dev - Jul 2002 - [Bug 328] starting sshd yeilds PRNG not seeded

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=328

This may not be a openssh problem....
If the openssh/openssl was compiled to use /dev/urandom (or /dev/random)
and your system does not have the proper path installed to support /dev/urandom
(or /dev/urandom) this is what you will see when you try to start sshd/ssh

check if this is the case:
ls -l /dev/*random

strings {path-to}/sshd | grep random
strings {path-to}/ssh  | grep random


i'm not sure IF openssh should use another methode in case there is no
/dev/random (or /dev/urandom) as openssl is the one that tells openssh
what to use (am i correct?)

You will need to supply a fair bit more information:

1. How did you configure OpenSSH? (The "./configure" commandline and
the summary
it prints would be sufficient)

2. How have you configured OpenSSL? Has it been built or configured to use EGD
itself?

If you are running the built-in PRNG support, try also running
"ssh-rand-helper
-v -v -v" from the commandline.
