patch solving the problem
No thanks, I don't want to add knobs and buttons here. If people require a different policy then I'd encourage them to build with --with-rand-helper and build their logic into ssh-rand-helper Created attachment 2073 [details]
Improved patch solving the problem
Damien, can you recheck your opinion when the rad-helper is dead? Shouldn't this be in OpenSSL? It includes some support for a RANDFILE environment variable, but it doesn't seem to actually use it. I still don't like adding a knob for this in OpenSSH. We won't be implementing this in OpenSSH Set all RESOLVED bugs to CLOSED with release of OpenSSH 7.1 |
