[meta-xilinx] SSH Help

[Martin Townsend]

Hi,

I'm trying to get SSH working and have tried dropbear and openssh with 
no joy.  With dropbear it just hangs forever when trying to generate the 
keys and with openssh I get the following message when trying to 
generate the keys
PRNG is not seeded
I've stepped through the code and in seed_rng it calls RAND_Status which 
I think is in the openssl library.  This function returns failure.
A bit of googling seems to indicate that permissions on /dev/urandom and 
/dev/random are incorrect but I've checked them and they are fine.

crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        1,   8 Jan  1  1970 random
...
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root        1,   9 Jan  1  1970 urandom

Running

|cat /dev/urandom | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9~!@#$%^&*-_'
gives me a long stream of random characters.

Using /dev/random I managed to read 3 characters before it blocked.
cat /dev/random | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9~!@#$%^&*-_'

Could it be that the entropy pool isn't being filled enough, the 
documentation I can see says that openssl will use /dev/urandom first 
and then /dev/random.

BTW: The HW design is using a Microblaze running at 100MHz which I would 
hope would be enough if maybe a bit slow.

Any help/ideas greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Martin.
