file //.ssh/prng_seed is not a regular file
Hi all...
On all of my solaris servers (5.5.1,5.6,5.7,5.8 and one 5.9) i get this error message:

sshd[7636]: fatal: PRNG seedfile //.ssh/prng_seed is not a regular file...

Knowing that i have no way to recompile correctly the sources, how can i fix this problem?

I'm using openssh, openssl, and egd on these servers.

Any help would be great...

I've already done some search on google, with no success...

Thanx...

sounds to me, there is a problem with type file permissions

Tried that
I did a chmod 777 on the file, and this doesn't seem to change anything...
I then moved the file to another name.
When i relaunch a ssh command, the file is created: here there is no error message in messages
At the next ssh comand, the file is created with 600 permissions, and i get the same error message in /var/adm/messages....


Any other ideas?

I even tried to create myself the file:
vi prng_seed and i put in it my first name (Jason).
I still get the same error message.
Did i mention that the file prng_seed created is a "data" file...
Don't know if this will help...
