Irix: PRNG initialization failed

[Pekka Savola]

Hello all,

I tried OpenSSH versions 2.1.1p4, 2.2.0p1 and the latest snapshot briefly
on 64-bit Irix 6.5.7f an 6.5.9m.

Both times, no matter what I do, I'll get 'PRNG initialization failed
-- exiting'.  This happens with ssh-keygen (the keys aren't even generated
yet, ssh binary etc.)

It's clear that Irix etc. don't have a proper entropy pool like *BSD and
Linux do, but shouldn't this be at least usable?

FWIW, consigure shows for entropy source:  Builtin (timeout 200).

I read a mention or two about entropy daemons and such, but I'm not sure
if those should be a must to get this to run..

Any ideas what might be wrong here?
