similar to: sshd files to start with "PRNG is not seeded" error

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 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

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

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

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

I had this problem here on some of our servers after an o/s upgrade, and found that the /dev/urandom file had changed permissions from 644 to 600. ls -l /dev/urandom crw------- 1 root system 33, 1 Jul 21 10:49 /dev/urandom I simply changed the permissions chmod go+r /dev/urandom and everything worked fine. ls -l /dev/urandom crw-r--r-- 1 root system 33, 1 Jul 21

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

We've run into an interesting dilemma regarding last log information and ssh 4.2p1. In 3.8, we didn't see this problem, but now has cropped up in 4.2. When a user logs in, sshd seems to call 'last' to get the last log information. 'last' then opens the /var/log/wtmp file and processes the information. On some systems, this file can be quite large, and we're seeing

Hi, dovecot tries to use OpenSSL's PRNG to generate random numbers if there is no /dev/urandom found. Unfortunately, it is flawed in its present form, since the PRNG is not seeded before RAND_bytes() is called in src/lib/randgen.c (on systems which have /dev/urandom, OpenSSL automatically seeds its PRNG from the urandom device). Here's a patch to address this issue: it tries to seed

Greetings. (Third try at sending this, the first two seemed to disappear without a trace. Perhaps use of MS Outlook was the problem, even though in plain text...? Or attachment too big (22Kb)? Would like to know...) The final source code and documentation package for a FIPS 140 validated mode of OpenSSL was recently submitted. Once the final certification is awarded by NIST, in a month or

I believe there is a problem with the openbsd-compat/bsd-arc4random.c file. If arc4random () is called without seed_rng having previously been called (eg if you run ssh-keygen -p ) then it does not in fact invoke seed_rng () if it is the first time. Instead it will invoke seed_rng every time BUT the first time. At least that is the way I read the code, and changing it as below allowed me to
