Re: ssh not working after upgrading OS?

 You are probably using a -CURRENT with a broken randomness
 device. For more information you can try and search the 
 mailing list archives. 

No - he has _no_ randomness device.

 suggestion
 /dev/random now has good entropy collection (from the keyboard and
 sysmouse drivers). Please ensure that either `options RANDOMDEV' is
 present in your kernel config file or that `randomdev_load="YES"'
 is in your /boot/loader.conf. If you do not have the /dev/random
 driver, OpenSSL (and consequently lots of crypto tools (like SSH))
 will fail with strange errors.
 /suggestion
 
 Thanks!

 Isn't there an add-on daemon for that, ESD or somesuch?  The OpenSSL docs
 mention it.

Yes and no. That daemon is a 'hack' for systems that lack
a randomness device. You don't want to use it when you do
have a good /dev/random.

FreeBSD has a /dev/random except that it has been broken
for a while whilst MarkM brought it up to snuff. The mailing 
list archives ought to contain all of the details one needs 
to fix this temporary problem. No need to resort to EGD, just 
tweak some config.

Cheers,
Jeroen

ssh not working after upgrading OS?

2000-07-11 Thread Sam Xie

Hi! All,
I upgraded my OS to FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #20, everything seems fine except
ssh.  Every time if I try to ssh to another host, the system gives me an error
message says,
"ssh: no RSA support in libssl and libcrypto.  See ssl(8).  
 Disabling protocol version 1
 DH_generate_key"
What is wrong and how to fix it?
Any help will be gratefull!
  
Thanks!
Sam

Try updating to a more recent -CURRENT, that should help.
