>Organization:
Arcor AG
>Environment:
FreeBSD 4.10R cdrom+fixit live file system
>Description:
using the 4.10 CD set in fixit mode you can not use ssh
it fail complaining about a not configured PRNG
apparently /dev/random and /dev/urandom are missing
MAKEDEV is missing, too.
(yes, I know a about mknod)
>How-To-Repeat:
boot with cd1
start fixit mode, insert cd2, press enter
change to vty 4
configure network
start ssh
be amazed
>Fix:
- have a /dev/(u|)random on the install floppy
- have MAKEDEV on the install floppy in /dev
Workaround:
use mknod random c 2 3 ; mknod urandom c 2 4 ; chmod 644 /dev/*rand*
every time you use the fixit cd (ugly)
