similar to: Problem with openssh-4.4p1

Hi there, I've run into a strange problem. I have just finished building OpenSSH 4.4p1 against openssl 0.9.8d under Mac OS X 10.3.9 and 10.4.7. Both were installed as updates to OpenSSH 4.3p2/openssl 0.9.8c (not Apple's obsolete versions which are bypassed). The 10.4.7 build works as expected, whereas the 10.3.9 build throws Disconnecting: Bad packet length 2477450673. when 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

[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 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

Hello all, I was finally able to create the OpenSSH package for Solaris 8 10/01. The problem I have now is that I will still need to have entropy ready prior to openssh-3.1p1 package installation. Otherwise there is no entropy pool available (with the new servers) and key generation fails. With the previous versions of openssh, I used SUN's "makeOpenSSHPackage.ksh" script and was

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

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

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

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 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

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 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
