I remember a discussion to the effect that using DSA keys in sshd increases the requirement for random bits available on the system... and that this requirement (was it a 128 bit random number per connection?) presents security problems on systems that don't have a decent source of entropy? Am I misinterpreting those discussions? We are having a problem deploying sshd (no prngd) where sshd

Yep. This worked. Thanks! Why yum can't figure this out itself?

Hello! I am running openSSH 2.9x on an IRIX 6.5.x platform. This was recently installed using SGI-supplied "freeware" binaries. I find that as time goes on, it takes more attempts to establish an ssh connection from the IRIX platform to another machine, as it fails with "not enough entropy in PRNG." I posted a note asking for assistance, and received a reply suggesting I

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

I have a need to provide ssh client binaries for use elsewhere on several platforms, some without /dev/random support. I can't assume that users will know how to install/run prngd or egd, so I was planning to rely on the builtin prng code. However this require the ssh_prng_cmds file to exist in a fixed location -- which would mean making binaries which either look for it in . or other

Hello, I'm having problems updating from 7.3 to 7.4 on my ppc64 (IBM Power7 p770) installation. yum update stops with Error: Multilib version problems found.

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

Gidday, I've just tried installing openssh-2.2.0p1 and found that it globbers my ssh_prng_cmds file which has been customised from the normally installed one. On BSDi 4.0.1 it doesn't detect enough commands for ssh-keygen to be happy. Most of the commands do actually exist, but I have to specify where they are. Could someone please modify the installation scripts to either backup this

This question is primarily for Damien, but if anybody else knows the answer please chime in. Why is it that on systems with no /dev/random or PRNGD or EGD (and I have a lot of Solaris systems in this situation because I don't have root access on them) that the OpenSSH 'ssh' command has to run through all those ssh_prng_cmds every time it starts up? Why doesn't ~/.ssh/prng_seed

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to send this, but perhaps you can forward it to the proper folks if not... The Solaris port of OpenSSH includes an ssh_prng_cmds file used for collecting entropy, however many of the commands listed in the file are incompatible with Solaris command syntax. Not knowing much about entropy or random numbers, I've modified the file a bit to

Hi, I'm trying to build an openssh pkgadd package which is portable across Solaris 2.6,7 & 8, so I can't rely on /dev/random support and must instead fall back to ssh_prng_cmds for collecting entropy. One of the default commands in ssh_prng_cmds "arp -a -n" is a problem for any (2.6, at least) host which doesn't have an efficient/working DNS or other name resolution
