 PRNG not seeded I have installed OpenSSH 3.7.1p1-pwexp24 (that's with Darren Tucker's password expiration patch) on a couple dozen AIX servers - a mix of 4.3.3, 5.1, and 5.2. I just upgraded a server from 5.1 to 5.2 and reinstalled SSH. I can logon successfully, but when I try to SSH to another server from there, I receive the following error: PRNG is not seeded What am I missing? FYI, I have compiled a separate version for AIX 5.2 because on 5.1 and earlier, I had to install EGD for random-number generation. With 5.2 I can configure SSH to use /dev/random. This has worked fine on all my other AIX 5.2 servers until now. And BTW, this is the first one I've migrated from 5.1 rather than install from scratch, if that makes a difference. Thanks for any help, Steve Steve Bassler Systems Programmer Allegheny Energy Greensburg, PA, USA      |

It turns out that after the migration install, both /dev/random and /dev/urandom came in with permissions crw-r-----, where on all my other AIX 5.2 servers (installed from scratch), they are crw-r--r--. Once I added the world readable bit to both, everything worked fine. One more entry in the "Things that make you go 'Huh?'" file. Steve |
