--- Comment #6 from Damien Miller <djm at mindrot.org> ---
> Fatal glibc error: cannot get entropy for arc4random

This is an error from glibc not from sshd:

https://github.com/bminor/glibc/blob/720e89163702ffa1e921d926b6c36b53c3ccbee4/stdlib/arc4random.c#L30

It's possibly because your glibc has been compiled against headers from
a newer kernel than the one you're running it on. It's probably trying
to use getrandom() 

Either way, as far as I can tell without a debug trace, it's not a
problem in OpenSSH.
