similar to: EGD 0.7

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Howdy all. I've just released version 0.7 ("the Brown Paper Bag" release) of EGD. The Entropy Gathering Daemon is primarily intended as a source of randomness for GnuPG, for use on systems which lack a /dev/random device. version 0.6, which has been available for about 8 months, had a serious and embarrasing bug in which the gathered

The usual suspects: Solaris 8 gcc 2.95.2 perl 5.60 egd 0.7 openssl 0.95.a openssh 1.2.3 # egd.pl /etc/entropy --- It works the first few minutes and then just stops working. OpenSSH connections started still work, ssh just hangs with a new connection. I've even tried --bottomless; no joy. 0.6 and Solaris 7 worked great. I'm going to try the /dev/random that was mentioned before. Any

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, I have installed OpenSSH 2.3.0p1 on a DEC AlphaServer 4000 under Tru64 UNIX 4.0F and on a DEC AlphaStation 200 under Tru64 UNIX 5.1. I tested Protocol 2 and 1 with RAS authentication resp. DSA authentication an both work well. There is one bug: I cannot view the man pages for OpenSSH under Compaq Tru64 UNIX. Are they in a special format which is not understood by the Tru64 UNIX man

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

There are a couple of issues regarding egd support in OpenSSH. 1) SIGPIPE is not ignored for the master listener daemon. I put the signal() call early on since it needs to be before get_random_bytes() is called but it could also be placed in the EGD version of get_random_bytes(). For some reason, with prngd I am getting SIGPIPE even though the prngd processes is not dying.

Greetings, While attempting to build openssh for Solaris 2.6, I ran into a minor problem that should probably be corrected in the next release of openssh. The file pty.c does not #include <stropts.h> to define I_PUSH even though I_PUSH is used when HAVE_DEV_PTMX is defined.

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

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

[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

Hello, There has been an annoyance with OpenSSH that has been bugging me lately. It pays no attention to pw_change and pw_expire fields from the passwd file for users by default. Thus even if the admin has set a user's account to expire 5 days ago they can still login. So one might say, just add 'UseLogin yes' and all of your problems will be solved. This of course is not a good
