You might want to consider upgrading ICSF to HCR77A1 or higher. If you do you'll be able to use the hardware based random number generator even if your processor doesn't have CryptoExpress cards installed.

We get this error intermittently on zos1.13. From my reading of the IBM Ported tools book and some help from Dovetailed a possible solution is to add environment variable _ZOS_SSH_PRNG_CMDS_TIMEOUT and increase the time out value. For testing purposes I added _ZOS_SSH_PRNG_CMDS_TIMEOUT=2000 to my user .profile. I then logoff and log on, enter into omvs and enter the env command to see if the variable is set. I do not see that variable in the list displayed. Am I adding this correctly? How do I check to see if the new variable has been set?

Thanks,
Matt
