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 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

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=953 ------- Additional Comments From dtucker at zip.com.au 2005-01-27 17:16 ------- I've tried to reproduce this with OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 on Solaris 2.5.1 (the only system I have available that doesn't have /dev/random). It ran a variant of your script on my system for over an hour without a single hang. Some more questions: - can you

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

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

[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 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

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,

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

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 /*) ;; *)

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 all Am i doing this right? Is this the right list to post to? If not, a quick lesson in ettiquette for me would not hurt. As I am both just starting to use newsgroups and SSH, I am not entirely familiar with the processes. I have a question about ssh-rand-helper. First an outline: I am currently using the SSH packages for Solaris 2.8 available at sunfreeware.com. The environment is
