I'm trying to get ssh working on a solaris 8 machine. I'm following the
instructions on sunfreeware.com, and installing packages recommended here
(which I have used previously).
On this particular machine (which I did not install), I've installed the
following:
prngd
openssl
openssh
zlib
egd
libgcc
Next, I setup prngd, and started the daemon. If I use the egc.pl script, I
see the following:
/usr/local/bin/egc.pl /var/spool/prngd/pool get
32800 bits of entropy in pool
The next step is to generate keys, but when I try I see the following:
# ssh-keygen -t rsa1 -f /usr/local/etc/ssh_host_key -N ""
PRNG is not seeded
Not sure what this means?? Can anyone make a suggestion??
Thank you!
