Fwd: Re: status of openssh for solaris?

[Tor-Ake Fransson]

Regarding /tmp/random:

Someone has made the same quick&dirty fix as my AIX compile fix, for a lack 
of /dev/urandom.

ssh expects some random bytes to be available in that file. I, or someone 
else should probably create a more portable way of generating entropy. ;)
