I have a cluster of nodes running Fedora Core 1. Occasionally when I ssh from one node to another, I will get the error meesage "PRNG not seeded", and the connection will fail. Actually, it happens when I ssh from one node to several simultaneously with a script. Several different scripts can generate the problem. The message is coming from the server and not the client. It happens whether I do it as root or as a normal user (home is mounted over nfs). Sites on the web indicate this problem is caused by a problem with /dev/urandom or /dev/random, or a misconfigured environment variable. However, in all cases it seems that others get the message every time. I get it occasionally from different nodes. Thanks, Craig
