hello all,

as we installed our p690 with nim the installation of
the openssh failed. after a trace we received the error
"PRNG not seeded". the sshd is not created.
the installation of openssl worked fine.

when we install the package manually it works !!!

what goes wrong here ?
does anyone know a workaound or an apar ?

For an SSH Installation on AIX 5.2 you need openssl & openssh

First install:
# openssl-0.9.6g-3.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
# Download from: ( But you must register )
https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/aix...&S_TACT=&S_CMP
=

Then Openssh for AIX 5.2
http://www-124.ibm.com/developerworks/projects/opensshi
http://oss.software.ibm.com/develope...ojects/openssh
# openssh.base.3.4.0.5200
# openssh.license.3.4.0.5200
# openssh.man.en_US.3.4.0.5200
# openssh.msg.en_US.3.4.0.5200

You can get installation hints from:
<http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...=isg1hintsTips
0707&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en+en>

BUT in the latest release of openssl for AIX 5.X you DO NOT NEED and should
NOT USE:
# zlib-1.1.4-1.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
# rpm -i prngd-0.9.23-2.aix4.3.ppc.rpm
