Hi, On one (i686) box I have now an ssh server running, the random device created by the postinst script of the random-egd package. However, on another (amd64) box the installation fails. I tried with the file random from the random-64 package with the same problems using settrans -c /dev/random /hurd/random, but the created file /dev/random has unknown file attributes, causing e.g. ls /dev/random to fail with translator died. In the examples above /dev/random is a character special device, ls -l /dev/random at (i686): crw-r--r-- 1 root root 0, 0 Nov 4 20:41 /dev/random
Trying the other proposed way to copy a binary file to /dev/random made openssh-server happy. But now /dev/random is an ordinary file, and the randomness is lower. Why does the first two methods fail on the 64bit box. Anything related to the 64bit vs 32bit architectures?? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
