Dovecot + SSL + Fedora
I've been seeing the Dovecot/SSL/Fedora 1 problem.
I have a dovecot server which tends to die at least once a day,
with messages like these :-
May 24 13:44:44 mail pop3-login: RAND_bytes() failed: error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not seeded
May 24 13:44:44 mail dovecot: Login process died too early - shutting down

Announce: X.509 certificates support in OpenSSH (version 5.2 from "Validator" series)
...Regards,

P.S.: Note on system with "/dev/{u||s}random" OpenSSH will report "checking whether OpenSSL's PRNG is internally seeded... no" for OpenSSL versions 0.9.8-beta{3|4|5}.
Work around is to remove quotes around DEVRANDOM in OpenSSL file "crypto/rand/rand_unix.c" or to install ssh-rand-helper.
