Well I actually I did make the whole hurd cvs tree without errors (as I stated in my original mail), but this message error eppeared anyway. > Do people actually bother reading the mailing archives before asking > questions? I read as much as I can lay my hands on, and I'm very sorry if my questions are not that intelligent but I try to test any clue I find before asking. And I don't ask stupid questions for fun - maybe I should learn to use google better, for I tried to find a clue in the archives by questioning google but this did not give any usefull suggestions. Anyway I temporarily fixed a random be adjusting the "one" translator from the hurd hacking guide (don't say I don't read any manuals) to return random. Probably this random function won't be random enough to ensure security for my ssh - but hey at least I now have ssh :) I will continue trying to get a better random running for safety reasons. Thanks for the link - maybe this is the kind of information that would be usefull for a newbie faq.
