OPENSSH and PRNGD with AIX 4.3.3
I am running openssl-0.9.6g-3 and prngd-0.9.23-3 on AIX 4.3.3. When I tried to initiate a SSH session, it hang at the "ssh-rand-helper" command. I then get a source copy of ssh-rand-helper.c from openssh-3.8p1 to debug it and found that it hung during the function call "RAND_bytes(seed, sizeof(seed)". The command "ssh-rand-helper" hung until I hit "Ctrl C" to break out of it. Can anyone give me some idea how to fix or debug this problem ? Is this problem has to do with the prngd operation ? I greatly appreciate any help. Thanks.

I am sorry I can't help you with your issue, but is there any chance you can tell me where I can download prngd-09.23-3? I'v googled for it and searched but haven't had any luck. I believe I need it to get Openssh up and running on a Bull AIX Light Tower I have (4.3.1).
TIA

It looks like the problem have to do with the way PRNGD got started. When I started PRNGD with its output (i,o,e) routed to /dev/console then the ssh-rand-helper command hung. But if I started PRNGD with its output (i,o,e) routed to /dev/null then the ssh-rand-helper run fine. May be it has problem write to /dev/console but why ?
