SERVER
I'm connecting to a Linux ssh server, with the server running:
      RedHat 9, Linux 2.4.20
      openssh 3.5p1-6

CLIENT 1
When I connect from a machine running the ssh client version 3.5p1-6,
(RH9, Linux 2.4.20) the connection works fine.

CLIENT 2
When I connect from a machine running the ssh client version 3.6.1p2-34,
(FC2, Linux 2.6.5) the connection fails with the error "PRNG not seeded".

How do I get the second client to connect reliably? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance.

Sean
