    I have downloaded the latest versions of ssh-3.4.p1 and prngd-0.9.22 as
    well as ssl-0.9.6e and zlib-1.1.4 . After installation and starting
    sshd I receive the error that prngd is not seeded and sshd bails.
    I have tried various things to get this working, included defining the
    config file and seed file within the start up of prngd . Another option
    was putting my linking my egd-pool to /dev/urandom. This actually
    produced a different effect, instead of bailing the program actually
    started to do the key generation, but just hung there with that, not
    doing anything.

    If anyone has any ideas, please feel free to make suggestions.

    Thanks in advance

    Bob
