[SUMMARY] Re: Solaris 8 - SSH

Thank you all. Most of you suggested to check if 'prngd' daemon is running
or not. It turned out the ssh daemon had never started in the background
from inetd. I run sshd daemon in inetd so the sshd process will not show in
the system running process. With some reasons, this inetd will not start
sshd (reboot, stop/start inetd). I had to go back the old way of system
start/stop sshd script and ssh is working fine.

Thanks again for all your help.

Hi,

After changing the hostname on my Solaris 8 server, the SSH broke. Here is
the error when trying to ssh to/from the server.

Couldn't connect to PRNGD socket "/var/spool/prngd/pool": Connection
refused
Entropy collection failed

Please help...Thanks.
