  • Solution "PRNG not seed" is easy

    Note: Several users have pointed out that they may get a "PRNG not seeded" message when trying to start sshd. This seems to be a new issue with openssl 0.9.7 versions. They point out that the OpenSSL FAQ says:

    Starting with version 0.9.7, OpenSSL will automatically
    look for an EGD socket at /var/run/egd-pool, /dev/egd-pool,
    /etc/egd-pool and /etc/entropy.

    and if they did a link like

    ln -s /var/spool/prngd/pool /dev/egd-pool

    or similar, the not seeded message above goes away and opnessh programs then work properly.
