Hello all,

After redirecting auth.* in /etc/syslog.conf to a file, if you get:

Nov 17 04:12:45 <4.3> ie sshd[594]: fatal: DH_generate_key

and ssh clients give all sorts of weird errors (like `Local: Bad packet
length 1349676916.' or openssh failing after `debug: Wait
SSH2_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY.'), this means /dev/urandom is missing.

I hope this knowledge will once save some soul out there a little bit
of time. :-)

TIE,


	-- Niels.
