hi, just tried 0.9.7a on solaris8 with /dev/random patch and solaris9. if openssh ist started during boot the first few times (2-3) i get "PRNG is not seeded". then it starts.
i use /dev/random only -- no other device (by using -DDEVRANDOM=\"/dev/random\" -DDEVRANDOM_EGD=NULL config options). we want to have real random numbers -- we dont care if it takes longer. the problem seems to come from the select() call in crypto/rand/rand_unix.c. there is a fixed timeout value (50*1000 -> 50ms). i am currently playing with some other values and figuring out where this trouble comes from. i'll report on this list. think that at least the timeout value sould be configurable... -- niki w. waibel - system administrator @ newlogic technologies ag ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
