PRNGD nod seed

Hallo,
I have installed the sw prngd 0.9.27, openssl 0.9.7d, zlib 1.2.1, OpenSSH 3.8.1p1 at K-class server, OS 11.11. When I run sshd daemon it finish at this mistake: PRNGD not seed. Why? When prngd daemon is running at this system.
Thanks.

Re: PRNGD nod seed

openssh needs to generate a random number to authenticate in a secure fashion.

This is now failing. The last time this happened to me it was because my NIC card was failing. Once the card was replaced the error went away.

Though surely not the only cause, you might want to run a hardware check on the NIC.

Also if not installed the strong randome number generator should be installed.

So this strong encryption should solve this problem? I am having the same issue.
