Hi. I recently snookered myself: I build OpenSSH on an old box that didn't have /dev/random, but happened to be running prngd at the time for other reasons. Because I wanted to use commands, I configured --with-rand-helper, however configure found the prngd socket and built ssh-rand-helper to use it exclusively. Next reboot: no prngd, no random seed, no sshd. Do not log in, do not

Bugzilla is reporting an internal server error right now so I thought I'd post this here. The current portable OpenSSH developer CVS has some non-standard shell syntax in the --with-prngd-socket case, and the grep "-q" option is not supported in at least Solaris 2.5.1. Here's a patch. Alternatively, the first test could use case "$withval" in /*) ;; *)

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=361 ------- Additional Comments From Lutz.Jaenicke at aet.TU-Cottbus.DE 2002-07-19 17:37 ------- OpenSSH's "configure" command will only pick up a new installation of PRNGD, when it is running during the call to configure. Thus make sure to * install prngd first and check its proper operation. * then run OpenSSH's configure

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

We have AIX 4.3.3 ML09 and AIX 5.1 ML01 I have narrowed the problem down, it is nothing to do with uni/multiprocessor machines. Both rsync 2.3.1 compiled by Bull in an installp and a gcc compiled version of 2.4.5 ( by me ) both have exactly the same problem with SSH 3.1.p1 and both DONT have the problem with SSH 2.9.9p1 - so I assume this is something highly specific to SSH 3.1.1.p1 Hope this

Hello, I apologize if this is the wrong list. It was the list I was directed towards. I have reviewed the archives as well as everything I could google before posting. Any help is most appreciated: We're seeing an error during sftp and ssh connections with consistent regularity. It's triggered by a high number of connections coming into sftp/ssh at the same time. It affects

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

Now that ssh-rand-helper has been segregated into a separate program, I'd like to revisit an old question about its entropy gathering. - would it be desirable to make it possible for ssh-rand-helper to fall back to external commands if PRNGD cannot be reached, instead of choosing one or the other at compile time? - When using PRNGD, the program gets 48 bytes of entropy from PRNGD,

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

Hi, I'm like to try a get the new release to work with Sun's new device, that can be installed with patch 112438-01. I compiled SSL attempting to point it at the random device: cd openssl-0.9.6d ./Configure solaris-sparcv7-gcc make DEVRANDOM="/kernel/drv/random" And then ran the SSH configure: ./configure --prefix=/opt/OBSDssh --with-pam --without-rsh \ --sysconfdir=/etc/ssh

I am running openssh 3.4p1 and had everything working fine, but then we had to upgrde the openssl. So did the same steps now openssh is not seeing prngd. We configure openssh with : --with-prngd-socket=/var/spool/prngd/pool this is what we saw with openssl-0.9.6g when I configured it: OpenSSH has been configured with the following options: User binaries: /usr/local/bin

Hi! I have just uploaded version 0.9.28 of prngd. It does fix a hang in an endless loop under certain conditions. I have never seen this myself on HP-UX but I have received some reports, more or less all from Solaris 8 users, one of which finally lead to the correct analysis. Problem: after calling waitpid(), errno is evaluated for the case of waidpid()=0 even though errno is not set in this

OpenSSH + PRNGD + SCO3 seem to work nicely. Thanks! One other thing: I'm not fully convinced that current OpenSSH does everything right regarding utmp/wtmp on SCO3

Excuse me if I've forgotten something from earlier: what happens when the sender is remote? Do we send the contents of the file list across along with the arguments, or does this option not work in that case, or is the file named to be opened on the remote
