Yes...I followed all the previous steps in your README document and
created the
prngd user and sshd user and I have verified this in scoadmin as well
as making sure the /usr/local/prngd directory exists and that the
groups were added per your document for prngd and sshd...

So, thus far, I've retraced your document verbatim and have followed
all the steps to the 'T' twice...with the same result....

Are there any other patches/supplements/required libraries, etc that
I'm missing?

Is there something else I can try?
