Hi all,

I get this error from starting the CSW openssh deamon.

$ /etc/init.d/opensshd start
Creating new RSA public/private host key pair
PRNG is not seeded
Creating new DSA public/private host key pair
PRNG is not seeded
PRNG is not seeded

SunOS chab 5.8 Generic_108528-29 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10

I have installed and rebooted with patch 112438, however it still fails.

I saw that the random module had not been loaded, nor had the devices been
created so I did the following Taken from another webpage:
http://sunportal.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2002-April/001366.html

[root@chabunco]pseudo$ mknod /devices/pseudo/random@0:random c 82 0
[root@chabunco]pseudo$ mknod /devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom c 82 1
[root@chabunco]pseudo$ chgrp sys /devices/pseudo/random*
[root@chabunco]pseudo$ cd /dev
[root@chabunco]/dev$ ln -s ../devices/pseudo/random@0:random /dev/random
[root@chabunco]/dev$ ln -s ../devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom /dev/urandom
[root@chabunco]/dev$ modload /kernel/drv/random
can't load module: Out of memory or no room in system tables

...But I still get the modload error. Anyone have any clues?

Rdgs/Atentamente,
Simon.
