Hello, I have found that if you create a jail in FreeBSD 4.6.2, and then log into that jail ... if you are root you can scp and ssh just fine. However if you are not root and you attempt to ssh or scp, you get this error: PRNG is not seeded A few details - first, I created my jail by simply using the dump command to dump my / filesystem, and then restoring that inside the jail. Not elegant, but it works - so the jail in question has a full /dev and everything. Second, I used the exact same method in 4.6.1 and did not have problems. I saw a usenet post that recommended solving the problem with this: "chmod a+r /dev/*rand*" however I tried that, and now when I try to ssh or scp from a non root user inside the jail, I get: "Host key verification failed" Does anyone know why this happens, why it didn't happen prior to 4.6.2, and how I can fix it ? thanks! _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
