you have a few choices...

1. upgrade to HPUX11i(11.11) and install the Kernal module for /dev/random
        http://www.software.hp.com/cgi-bin/swdepot_parser.cgi/cgi/displayProductInfo.pl?productNumber=KRNG11I
2. compile with --with-prngd-socket=/path/to/egd-pool
        http://www.aet.tu-cottbus.de/personen/jaenicke/postfix_tls/prngd.html
3. use a third party /dev/random for HPUX11
        http://www.josvisser.nl/hpux11-random/
4. ignore the error and continue to use the subprocess random helper built in OpenSSH
        --with-rand-helper

These are order in best to worse choice.

Hi

I am installing openssh-3.7.1p2 on HP-UX 11.00.When I do a configure , I
get the following message at the end

I am able to do a make and it goes through without any errors.But I
just wanted to know if there was any solution to the above warning
message ( Is there any software/patch that I can install to get rid of
this problem)

Thanks in advance

Regards
Shaila
