Has anyone had success with getting /dev/random to work after installing SUNWski? After I install the pkg and start /etc/ init.d/cryptorand, the /dev/random file remains 0 bytes. I am running Solaris 2.8 - David

There was some discussion recently about the Solaris /dev/random support that can be downloaded from Sun's patch archive as part of a patch to the Sun Web Server 1.0 product. The SUNWski package is the interesting bit that purports to provide /dev/random. It was noted that domestic and international versions of the patch existed and that only the international (no encryption) version was downloadable. Nobody stepped forward to verify that the international version actually pro...

I feel very silly asking this, because I saw the answer to this question one time and can't remember what it was. OpenSSH uses /dev/urandom or /dev/random which Solaris does not have (verified with a call to the Sun software folks). How do I make OpenSSH happy with a Solaris substitute for /etc/urandom?

I've installed Sun's SUNWski package on Solaris 8 (32-bit) that provides a /dev/random interface. It appears to as cat'ing it gives me a bunch of well, random data. However, when I ran my configure, it gives me the WARNING.RND message to the effect that I'm using the built-in. I've seen allusions on this list to...

on solaris7/sparc this device doesn't exists i can use EGD but he very big (perl script!) - in memory it take about 4mb! apache use the same! why ssh1.27 doesn't requre /dev/urandom on solaris? what alternatives exists?

...n's /dev/random patch and haven't been able to find it... Sun's patch 105710-01 is available for free download and includes their /dev/random equivalent for SPARC architectures. The patch is actually a bunch of packages to patch up their web server product. One of the packages is the SUNWski package which includes their "cryptorand" random number generator. The cryptorand daemon hooks itself up to a named fifo. The name of the fifo defaults to /dev/random but it can easily be changed by editing the cryotrand startup script in /etc/init.d/. Presumably if it were changed to /...

I built KTH Kerberos 1.0.6, OpenSSL 0.9.6, zlib 1.1.3 and OpenSSH 2.5.1p1 with WorkShop 5.0 on Solaris 2.6; /dev/random is provided by cryptorand from SUNWski. ssh -v -v -v produces the same output as ssh -v > ssh -v foobar OpenSSH_2.5.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f debug: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config debug: ssh_connect: getuid 17454 geteuid 0 anon 0 debug: Connecting to foobar [100.200.200.100] port 22. debug: Seed...

has anyone had a problem building 3.1p1 with Solaris 8 (2/02 release)? That release of Solaris was the first (I believe) to incorporate their own /dev/random which OpenSSH 3.1 doesn't seem to like too much. When I run the configure, it reports that Random Number Source is set to use the rand-helper. If I use the ANDIrand Solaris package as my /dev/random, It configures properly (Random

I'm using the ANDIrand (http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/) package to provide /dev/random, rather than EGD or SUNWski. ssh and sshd appear to be working as advertised, but key generation fails consistantly. I'm planning on trying the 10/00 Solaris 8 release as soon as I get a chance to download it from Sun. Suggestions? This looks like an openssl problem, but I'd think I wouldn't be the only one seei...

Hi, I've compiled openssh 1.2.2 on Solaris 7/SPARC. On most hosts, things are fine. I get EGD going, compile openssh, and I can then generate hostkeys as described in the INSTALL file to get things running. On a few hosts though, the keygen fails like this: root at sylow:/source/USR_LOCAL/OFFICIAL/OPENSSH/ssh_client# ssh-keygen -b 1024 -f /etc/ssh/ssh_host_key -N '' ksh:

For a future release of Portable OpenSSH, it would be nice to have a ./configure option to enable the binaries produced, to be statically linked. I tried using LDFLAGS option to ./configure .... but this passes arguments to gcc not ld, this should be documented. Additionally, I feel that ./configure should --extra-inc=dir and --extra-lib=dir to add paths to compile (-I) and link lines (-L &
