Over the holidays, I intend to finally rid portable OpenSSH of the builtin entropy collection code. Here's what I intend to do: When init_rng is called, we'll check OpenSSL's RAND_status(). If this indicates that their PRNG is already seeded, we'll do nothing. This effectively detects platforms which have /dev/urandom (or similar) configured into OpenSSL. If OpenSSL isn't

Nico-- SSH is trying to "get entropy" by taking the (somewhat-deterministic) output of a bunch of system commands, on those OSs that don't provide a /dev/random or its equivalent. The commands that it uses are in /etc/ssh_prng_cmds or its equivalent on your system; just comment out any of the lines (and stop/restart SSHd) in order to change which system commands are used as inputs

Hi everyone, i just installed dovecot in Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow). When accessing from a eudora 6.1 client, first it gave ssl authentication problems. I fixed disabling them in eudora, but now it authenticates ok and then it says that there is no inbox for that user. Any idea?

Dear R-Gurus: This afternoon I was installing the "Hmisc" package. I use R in Linux (Fedora Core 1 (yarrow)) on a Compaq presario with 128 MB RAM laptop. Opening an R session as a root user (superuser), I issued install.packages("Hmisc") and waited. R downloaded the package, installation was going on, and on the standard output I could see that a list of

Hi Samba-Gurus out there! Ive got some strange problem here i already tried to track down searching the net and reading tons of manuals. no luck yet. So now ill give the Mailing list a try. The Situation: ############ We run a virtual (VM) Debian Lenny Server as LDAP (OpenLDAP) and Samba Domaincontroller/Fileserver. The Server also does NFS Exports of the same Volumes to other Debian Etch

Hello Rails community I cannot seem to find via Google what I had hoped would be a simple issue On a single DB system (currently, postgres 8.1.4), I have two databases, each containing multiple tables. I would like to configure my app and database.yml to recognize these two databases. What is the corrrect config for the database.yml ? Is it something like: > production: > adapter:

Now that ssh-rand-helper has been segregated into a separate program, I'd like to revisit an old question about its entropy gathering. - would it be desirable to make it possible for ssh-rand-helper to fall back to external commands if PRNGD cannot be reached, instead of choosing one or the other at compile time? - When using PRNGD, the program gets 48 bytes of entropy from PRNGD,

Hi. I experimented a bit with collecting entropy from the time it takes for device_attach() to run (in CPU cycles). It seems that those times have enough variation that we can use it for entropy harvesting. It happens even before root is mounted, so pretty early. On the machine I'm testing it, which has minimal kernel plus NIC driver I see 75 device_attach() calls. I'm being very careful

Hi. I've been playing a bit with "use sound card as an entropy source" idea. This simple program does what I wanted: http://people.freebsd.org/~pjd/misc/sndrand.tbz The program is very simple, it should be run with two arguments: % sndtest /dev/dspW 1048576 > rand.data This command will generate 1MB of random data. With my sound card: pcm0: <Intel ICH3 (82801CA)>

Hello everyone, I have a problem regarding gre tunneling, I have two linux box both of them has a private network and the linux A is connected to the internet via wireless radio and the other linux B is connected to the internet via lease line.

I was doing some regression testing in 5.5: Specifically testing booting up a 'virgin' hard disk from a clean install. I was testing what happened if the 300 second timeout happened vs hitting <return> for 'fast+insecure' startup and punching in a bunch of random garbage. I found that for some reason, on a 2.4Ghz Celeron, the 'sysctl -a' and 'date' seeding
