I ran ssh-keygen with strace and found that the seg fault occurs after /dev/urandom is opened, then closed, and the "brk0x..." lines come out. All the libs are present and appear fine. I ran ssh-keygen with gdb too, and it doesn't have the debug stuff compile in. I just a message stating the seg fault occurs when working with libcrypto and libc. I'm going to try compiling from source and see how that goes. jc -- Jeff Coppock Nortel Networks Systems Engineer http://nortelnetworks.com Major Accts. Santa Clara, CA
