We're (still) running Solaris 7 11/99 for x86 with numerous patches.
Recently, we installed a customized openssh package developed
by an in-house unix support group. The output of "ssh -V" is:
OpenSSH_3.7.1p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL 0.9.7b 10 Apr 2003
Every once in a while I notice that the prngd process is
consuming a lot of CPU time. Below is a portion of the output
of top that illustrates one of these occurrences. This happened
on a 4-way server that was just built from scratch and was
under no load whatsoever. Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Should I be concerned?
