I haven't tried it (I don't have any HURD box or access to one). But if you have the time, please try it. Too bad that the lsh-utils package is that old. I don't know why, and I haven't been deeply involved in the debianization. The only potential problem I'm aware of is the randomness initialization; recent versions of lsh try to cope without /dev/urandom by executing some random commands (vmstat, netstat, ps, etc with various flags), and seed a prng (currently based on arcfour) from the output. See http://www.lysator.liu.se/~nisse/lsh/src/unix_random.c for the complete list, most of it is taken from Peter Gutmanns cryptlib. But it will complain if it doesn't get reasonable amounts of output, and I don't know how many of the commands in the list are available on the hurd yet. /Niels
