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?

I have a need to have the same OpenSSH binaries run on multiple machines which are administered by different people. That means on Solaris, for example, there will be some with /dev/random, some on which I can run prngd because they'll be installing my binaries as root, and some which will have neither because they will be only installed as non-root. Below is a patch to enable choosing all 3

I cannot make openssh on Solaris. The 'make' fails on the first file. Here are the commands and the output. Essentially, I pre-built EGD, SSL, and ran: configure make make errors are listed at the bottom. Can anyone help me get this compiled on Solaris7?

I'd like to install openssh across an Irix cluster where I work, but its dependency on an "entropy pool" like /dev/urandom is making this problematic -- especially because EGD has issues with Irix that making it largely unusable. Obviously, the original ssh relied on its own random number generator. While this may not have provided the same degree of randomness that is provided by

Hi all, I just implemented (compiled from tarball) Openssh-2.3.0p1 on two different platform: an HP-UX 11.00 (the client) and a Redhat 6.2 (the server). On server (Linux RH-6.2) side the following compile options are considered: # CC="egcs" \ > ./configure \ > --prefix=/opt/openssh \ > --sysconfdir=/etc/opt/openssh \ > --with-tcp-wrappers \ > --with-ipv4-default \ >

Regarding /tmp/random: Someone has made the same quick&dirty fix as my AIX compile fix, for a lack of /dev/urandom. ssh expects some random bytes to be available in that file. I, or someone else should probably create a more portable way of generating entropy. ;) //Tor-?ke >From: Niels Provos <provos at outguess.org> >To: openssh-unix-dev at mindrot.org >Subject: Fwd: Re:

Hi! I have just made the 0.9.0 release of PRNGD available. PRNGD is the Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon. It has an EGD compatible interface and is designed to provide entropy on systems not having /dev/*random devices. Software supporting EGD style entropy requests are openssh, Apache/mod_ssl, Postfix/TLS... Automatic querying of EGD sockets at fixed locations has been introduced in the

Hello all, I was finally able to create the OpenSSH package for Solaris 8 10/01. The problem I have now is that I will still need to have entropy ready prior to openssh-3.1p1 package installation. Otherwise there is no entropy pool available (with the new servers) and key generation fails. With the previous versions of openssh, I used SUN's "makeOpenSSHPackage.ksh" script and was

Hello to all! I have problem with OpenSSH 1.2.1pre18 on Linux (kernel 2.2.13, distribution Slackware 4.0). When someone login using ssh, there is no way to see his presentance with some 'standard' tools (finger, who, w, users...). Of course, his proccesses are in ps, and so. I've tried to see /etc/utmp using vi, and there is some entry, but maybe invalid, or something. When I enable

[NOTE: I'm new to this list and this is my first approach to OpenSSH code.] I've enhanced "--with-prngd-port=PORT" flag to accept an optional hostname as in "myhost:myport", e.g.: % ./configure --with-prngd-port=example.com:12345 Although I'm certain that this may cause big trouble if remote gatherer isn't online (ssh will refuse to open any connection) I

Yo All! Sorry if this is obvious but I am new to openssh. I have used the original ssh for a while and am familiar with it (and it's restrictive license). I am trying to port openssh-1.2.1pre24 on to SCO UnixWare 7.1.0. I will post the small patches when it is really running. Two problems, SCO has no /dev/random so I installed egd-0.6. It usually works but sometimes dies. I have sent

Hi, when running OpenSSH with EGD as entropy source, the sshd server connects to the EGD socket and leaves it open to re-seed on the fly. Unfortunately the connection is not checked when re-seeding, so that a failure or restart of EGD will lead to a "fatal()" abort of the sshd server process. Since a dying server process can not be accepted, I would recommend to not have sshd call it
