ssh drops privs when it can't find ~/.ssh/prng_seed
I'm using OpenSSH 2.3.0p1. When my users use ssh for the first
time, using rhosts authentication, entropy.c drops the privs in
prng_write_seedfile() at the setuid(original_uid) line (line 550,
approx):
void
prng_write_seedfile(void) {
int fd;
char seed[1024];
char filename[1024];
struct passwd *pw;
/* Don't bother if we have already saved a seed */
if (prng_seed_saved)
return;
