PRNGD seems to be working fine according to egd. When I go to start 3.4p1 version of sshd, I get PRNG not seeded and that is all. This used to work with 3.01p1 of sshd. Any help is appretiated. Gary Walters
This may not be a openssh problem.... 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 check if this is the case: ls -l /dev/*random strings {path-to}/sshd | grep random strings {path-to}/ssh | grep random i'm not sure IF openssh should use another methode in case there is no /dev/random (or /dev/urandom) as openssl is the one that tells openssh what to use (am i correct?)
You will need to supply a fair bit more information: 1. How did you configure OpenSSH? (The "./configure" commandline and the summary it prints would be sufficient) 2. How have you configured OpenSSL? Has it been built or configured to use EGD itself?
If you are running the built-in PRNG support, try also running "ssh-rand-helper -v -v -v" from the commandline.
