Greetings, I noticed that there is a sshd and a ssh client for hurd in the debian package list, both these packages require a "/dev/urandom".
By means of the wise and allmighty gOOgle I found a tar ball called entropy and created by Sune Kirkeby, the documentation says you should make it to create a entropy/random server. The problem is that when i try to make it (under hurd) the "cc" returns a "operation not supported" error ( /bin/cc is a symbolic link to /bin/gcc-3.0). No matter how many debug flags are toggled on, it keeps returning this error. Next I tried to crosscompile (this is dirty) and although i used "-I /gnu/include" the compiler stays complaining about includes it can't find - but they are in /gnu/include !? Can anyone tell me whether there is an other random or urandom package I should use, or how I should compile the entropy tar ball ? I also noticed that the entropy tar ball wants to patch the mach mini kernel - should this really be nescessary ? I mean is gathering random bits not a far to specialised task to do in the mini kernel ? Thanks for reading :), Jaap Karssenberg -- fortune says: Don't kid yourself.
