Anyone tried porting the OpenSSH Server to NS/OS ? Be nice to be able to ssh to my boxes instead of telnet.

I've got a question which I should probably know, but where does your ssh package look for the prngd pool? I've installed both and all I get is PRNG is not seeded.

DOH nevermind I figured it out looks like in openssl 0.9.7+ it looks for the socket in any of four places.

/var/run/egd-pool
/dev/egd-pool
/etc/egd-pool
/etc/entropy

So as long as you use one of those it works.

Yep, I use /etc/egd-pool on all my systems. Just to keep some kind of consistancy. I provided an example of how I start them on startup in the README in the packages directory. Here's how I start them up vi /etc/rc.local

if [ -f /usr/local/sbin/prngd ]; then
echo -n ' prngd' >/dev/console
/usr/local/sbin/prngd /etc/egd-pool
fi

if [ -f /usr/local/sbin/sshd ]; then
echo -n ' sshd ' >/dev/console
/usr/local/sbin/sshd
fi

I do notice a funny bug with ssh see if anyone else has this problem. If I log in via ssh from my linux desktop [xterm] and I resize the window the ssh session locks up. If I do the same thing via telnet it is fine.

Hmm, I just tried this from my Solaris box & connected to all 4 different systems. I didn't have this problem. I'll try l8r from my Linux box. I've never had that problem before.

Could be something in my set up or even something do to it be a Virtual machine I'll try it later on the TC Slab and see if I can reproduce it. I did try to login as root and me [different shells, and I also set my TERM to vt102] and saw the same issue so something is funny in the mix for sure.

I also tried it from a xterm on the linux host and I started up my Sparc 20 [Solaris 9] and had the same problem.
