Problems with prngd ??

[Jörn]

Hi,

i got on different workstations following syslog-entry:
"prngd[1724]: write() in socket_write() failed: Broken pipe"

I don??t know how i should handle this message? Is it critical? And how can i solve this problem?

I use openssh Version 3.5.p1

THX!!!

Hi,

Is this a new configuration, or has it been running a while?

Can you create key-pairs correctly? Can you connect to hosts correctly using SSH?

Has prngd managed to create the socket required? Exactly what command do you use to start prngd?

This is a relative new installation. The system has run since 10 days.

I can connect to hosts correctly and i can create key-pairs correctly.
I don??t know how to find out wether prngd has managed to create the socket. When i open a secure-shell on a workstation and have a look on the socketlist, i can only find the necessary slogin.
The command, which is executed at the start of open-ssh, is:

/opt/prng/bin/ -c /opt/prng/etc/prngd.conf -s /var/spool... # the last part i can??t read

Hi,

Why can't you read it? Are you using Reflection or something?

How do you start the OpenSSH and prngd? Is it possible to attach a copy of he start script?

Ollie.

[Jörn]

all right... i have found the command:

/opt/prngd/bin/prngd -c /opt/prng/etc/prngd.conf -s /var/spool/seed -m 0777 /dev/random

I start openssh at the systemstartup with a Start-Link in /sbin/rc2.d

i have appended the startfile named "openssh"
