It's not present on 5.4-Stable, so I have patched it.
In /etc/rc.d/sshd I also have this:
# REQUIRE: LOGIN random
However, it still does not work.
This is what I observe:
1. If random is not started, it will load the random
module, if needed.
So this part seems to work OK now.
2. If random module is not loaded and random has not
yet started, then I get this:
# /etc/rc.d/sshd start
Starting sshd.
PRNG is not seeded
My conclusion is:
sshd does simply not call random at all, although I
have added it in the "# REQUIRE:" line.
Is this a general bug in 5-Stable?
Or am I testing this in the wrong way?
Rob.
