Critical EGD handling in 2.1.1p1
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

Announcement: PRNGD 0.9.0 available
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

fatal: Not enough entropy in RNG
Hi, I'm running openssh 2.1.1p4 on Solaris 7 (sparc). Occationally, when I boot up the server, the startup script I wrote to start sshd fails to start sshd with the following error: fatal: Not enough entropy in RNG What am I doing wrong?? Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening? Is just restarting sshd a valid thing to do?? Thanks for any thoughts, David

OpenSSL PRNG
Just for peace of mind, can someone who knows the openssh code better than I do, confirm that openssh doesn't use (in any circumstances) the openssl prng (since the code in versions prior to 0.9.6b is rather weak). My understanding is that it doesn't (using either /dev/random, egd, prngd or the builtin code), but I may have missed some other use of the openssl prng elsewhere... -- Jon

OpenSSH 3.4p1 "PRNG is not seeded"
I upgraded from OpenSSH_3.0.2p1 to OpenSSH 3.4p1. Starting SSHD or ssh-keygen I'm getting the "PRNG is not seeded". I have verified that prngd is running and "egc.pl /var/spool/prngd/pool get" runs just fine reporting 32800 bits of entropy. My platform is Solaris 8 (sparc) and I downloaded binaries from www.sunfreeware.com. My guess is the build of OpenSSH 3.4.p1 is

ssh-keygen hangs with empty prngd.conf - bug ?
Hi, I use openssh-2.9p2 on an i386 LynxOS system. Since LynxOS does not have support for /dev/[u]random, I installed openssh with prngd support. It so happened by accident on installation that prngd.conf got truncated to zero size. With prngd running as such, ssh-keygen just hangs. I notice similar case with sshd, ssh, ... as all these depend on prngd for random number. SMMEstack# /usr/sbin/sshd

Bug in bsd-waitpid.c and bsd-nextstep.c
Hi! The handling of the "status" information in bsd-waitpid.c and bsd-nextstep.c seems to be bit odd. Patch attached.

HP-UX 10.20 assistance
To Whomever can assist, I am looking for anyone who has gotten OpenSsh 3.7.1p2 to build under HP-UX 10.20. I am working with the latest gcc (v. 3.3.1), gmake (v. 3.80), and Openssl (0.9.7c) and I still can not get OpenSsh to build properly. It errors out on the build process with a: loginrec.c:1405: dereferencing pointer to incomplete type cing pointer to incomplete type loginrec.c:1514:

HPUX 10.20 and OpenSSH 3.4.p1
Hello, over the last few days I've been attempting to compile openssh-3.4p1 on a HP j5000 (hpux 10.20) but have run into some problems. I had found the paper from Kevin Steves and have been following his suggested steps. Perl, zlib, prngd, tcp_wrappers and openssl all compiled more or less as he described. The configure script runs without protest but make gets hung up in

[Lutz.Jaenicke@aet.TU-Cottbus.DE: 2.9p1: HP-UX 10.20 utmp/wtmp handling broken?]
Hi! I am resending the following message about problems with utmp handling. * In the meantime I had some request in private mail from people asking whether I have new information. * The problem is still persistant in 2.9p2. * My own new investigations show, that the problem only appears with protocol 2, not with protocol 1, I therefore only started to note it when protocol 2 became the

Upgraded to 2.9p1 with no luck..
Howdy, After upgrading to 2.9 (OpenSSH_2.9p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0x0090600f) I'm unable to ssh between two systems any more (the two that I've upgraded). I've recompiled from the original source several times, each time with no errors, regenerated host keys, regenerated client keys (using rsa), etc., to no avail. Below are some relevant snippets of debugging output

ssh-agent and id_dsa
Hi! I am distributing 2.5.1p1 for production use on my system by now and prepare switching to protocol 2 as default protocol. I just noted, that ssh-agent can be used for protocol 1 and 2, but the keys kept in ssh-agent are not compared against keys in .ssh. Example: I have a DSA key in id_dsa which I load into ssh-agent on login. When connecting to an account accepting the key everything is

scp not shutting down in 2.1.1p4
Hi! as I just noted, after scp the connection does not shut down properly. When I do a "scp file targethost:path", on targethost a "sshd" process is left running. I do use --with-default-path="/usr/local/openssh/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin" to assure, that the corrensponding openssh-scp is used. It also seems, that normal sessions are not always closed properly.

OpenSSH (CVS) performance observations
Hi! I have experimented a bit with the latest OpenSSH from the CVS archive. I could realize some connections succesfully, but I experienced performance problem during the connection phase. It seems, that the client needs quite some computer time just after debug: Got SSH2_MSG_KEX_DH_GEX_GROUP. By inserting test-printouts, I verifyed that the dh_gen_key(dh); call seems to take that long. On a HP

OpenSSH on Reliant UNIX
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

Why does ssh try to run df, netstat, arp ...?
Howdy, I recently had a problem with one of our servers (crashed due to power failure :-). While this shouldn't have been a problem for most of the workstations and servers on the network I noticed that I wasn't able to use ssh anymore. Ssh would simply hang during the connection. rsh and telnet however were able to connect without problem so there was no problem with the destination or

Open connections when using agent-forwarding
Hi! I have problems with connections being left open with both 2.2.0p1 and the latest snapshot when using agent-forwarding. (I didn't use this with older versions, so I don't know whether this problem is older.) Scenario: I have a secret key that I run with ssh-agent on host "host-A". I then connect to "host-B" using 'slogin -A host-B'. When executing a
