similar to: AW: fatal: PRNG initialisation failed

Heya, I have compiled and installed OpenSSH on a Solaris/Sparc machine and whenever I try to start any of the ssh programs I get "fatal: PRNG initialisation failed -- exiting" Now, I have looked through the mailing lists and have seen some mention that this indicates it can't open the ssh_prng_cmds file, which entropy.c also seems to indicate the problem is. However, this snippet

Hello, it's me again ! I tried to compile / install OpenSSH on our Reliant UNIX system, OS version 5.45 (and 5.44). The following problems did appear: 1. OpenSSL-0.9.5a will not compile out of the box. The problem on RU 5.45 is, that the compiler does support "long long" but NOT "unsigned long long". The latter just provokes the error message "superfluous

Hello ! I think a problem was introduced in openssh-2.3.0p1 which is still there in the latest openssh-2.5.2p1. I just noticed it before my vacation and could not send this mail earlier than today. The problem is: You can't use the Rhosts-RSA authentication based on the hosts.equiv file and the host keys. The only possible way to do rhosts-RSA authentication is to allow the usage of the

Hi ! I upgraded one of our Reliant UNIX systems from 2.1.1 to 2.3.0p1. Now, I suddenly can't login any more. The error message is: Attempting authentication for illegal user ... The reason is: Password expiration Although I don't use my password to login, at all. I login via RSAAuthentication and this did work with version 2.1.1. Version 2.3.0p1, obviously, checks the password

Hi ! To all: A Happy New Year ! During the last week I did some investigations why the X11 forwarding on Reliant UNIX Versions 5.44 and 5.45 does not work out of the box with OpenSSH-2.3.0p1. The result fo my investigation is: 1. The OpenSSH sshd opens a TCP/IP-port 6000 + display number and listens to it. This is fine and works with Solaris 7, DEC-OSF 4.0D, Linux and FreeBSD-4.2 but not

This to announce a test release of 2.1.0p1 before making it widely available. This release includes many fixes to problems reported over the last week. In particular: - spurious error and coredumps caused by the inbuilt entropy gathering - RSAref detection - Compilation fixes for Solaris and others It also contains (completely untested) support for compiling without RSA support. This may be

Hello All, This is regarding a sshd problem. In our system we use ocrandom (a random number generator) to fill in the device /dev/urandom from which sshd reads the randomness for seeding. In a situation we stop the ocrandom and sshd. Now as usual we start the ocrandom first and then sshd. We get an error "PRNG is not seeded" while starting sshd. When we start the sshd for the second

If the openssh/openssl was compiled to use /dev/urandom (or /dev/random) and your system does not have the proper path installed to support /dev/urandom (or /dev/urandom) this is what you will see when you try to start sshd/ssh

hi I am using Solaris 8 and installing the 3.8 openssh software that I received from www.sunfreeware.com I following the installation instruction see attachment but when I get to ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N "" I get a PRNG is not seeded could you help me in this matter. Thank you for your cooperation. Spencer Crim

Changes: Our attempt in 3.6.0 to workaround a problem with the OpenSSL PRNG actually made the problem worse. This release corrects the workaround to properly reseed the OpenSSL PRNG after forking.
