openssh / prngd unresolved bug since 2002, need help
...(we are quoting here):
-- snip --
When lots of processes query entropy at the same time, the "fairness"
change introduced in 0.9.25 could lead to clients being only served with
a delay.
Reason: in serverloop.c the next client to serv is "i1" as determined from
i1 = (prev_location + i) % max_query_old;
The client that actually was served however was "i" instead of "i1".
If the connection of "i" was not yet ready for "write" state set after
getting the entropy, it might block.
This problem has not been reported by any other user...

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953
------- Additional Comments From stanislaw.walczak at sympatico.ca 2004-12-17 09:16 -------
I run it only for 10 minutes "openssl rand -base64
20480" - did not hang or abort.
Security group said no for prngd 0.9.25 upgrade.
Could you please tell me more about prngd bug ? what the symptoms are ?
