similar to: /etc/urandom and Solaris

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?

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

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 building openssl with to get random support, so I rebuilt it

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

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:

This one-line patch prevents OpenSSH from depleting entropy unnecessarily from /dev/urandom when the OpenSSL library acquires its own entropy. Without this patch OpenSSH opens /dev/urandom and reads 32 bytes, and then OpenSSL opens it again and reads an additional 20. -- Dan Astoorian People shouldn't think that it's better to have Sysadmin, CSLab loved and

if i want to learn more about implementing a /dev/urandom, where would be a good place to start? thanks, wendy -- wendy palm Cray OS Sustaining Engineering, Cray Inc. wendyp at cray.com, 651-605-9154

As it turns out, you don't need to configure OpenSSL 0.9.6c in any special way to have support for /dev/urandom - it automatically tries to use it if it exists on a Unix system. So, I compiled the current snapshot using "--with-rand-helper=no" and everything appears to build and work fine on Solaris 8. Ed Ed Phillips <ed at udel.edu> University of Delaware (302) 831-6082

Hello, Being new to the list i hope this question has not been asked before.... As you might know Solaris 9 supportes /dev/random and /dev/urandom bij default and earlier version need to install a patch to have these devices.... But the configuration script under Solaris (Sparc/X86) does not test the existing of the devices... is this to be known as a error/bug? and is there a patch? thanks --

Hey, I''m trying to install ruby on rails on windows xp with cygwin. I installed the rails gem but when I go to create an application I get the following : "No such file or directory - /dev/urandom" the error seems to be coming form secret_key_generator.rb line 22. But I can''t find a file of that name Thanks --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You

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 &

If you execute cat /dev/urandom at the xm console of a guest domain, it will spew garbage forever. Attempts to run xm destroy on it simply hang. _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
