Thus make sure to * install prngd first and check its proper operation. * then run OpenSSH's configure

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

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 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 when i restart sshd I get PRNG is not seeded # /etc/init.d/sshd restart PRNG is not seeded # No idea as what is going on Thanks and Regards Kaushal

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

Over the holidays, I intend to finally rid portable OpenSSH of the builtin entropy collection code. Here's what I intend to do: When init_rng is called, we'll check OpenSSL's RAND_status(). If this indicates that their PRNG is already seeded, we'll do nothing. This effectively detects platforms which have /dev/urandom (or similar) configured into OpenSSL. If OpenSSL isn't

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

This is likely a linux or ssh problem, but perhaps someone else on this list may have encountered it. I have run about 15,000 instances of rsync in the last year, (about 500 total hours of rsyncing) using ssh as a transport mechanism ( actually, I am running the dirvish backup wrapper, www.dirvish.org, around rsync). In all cases, I am pulling filesystems from a linux client to a linux backup

[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

I'm trying to configure and build the current bits from the CVS tree, I've used autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.52 to generated configure from the configure.ac file. When I run configure on Solaris 9 I get a failure thus: $ ./configure .... checking for OpenSSL directory... /usr/local/ssl checking for RSA support... yes checking whether OpenSSL's headers match the library... yes checking

Greetings. I'm wondering if OpenSSH automatically falls back to the internal PRNG (such as used on Solaris) when it can't use a better alternative. The reason I ask is this: the machine I am compiling OpenSSH on has the /dev/random patch for Solaris 8. I'd like OpenSSH to use /dev/random whenever possible, if it exists. However, I'd prefer NOT to have to compile a separate
