Compiled great, got both my RSA and DSA keys' generated for Protocol 1/2,
started up fine ... try to connect and get a bunch of errors:

Proceeds to let me login, but a second attempt fails ... ps shows no more
sshd processes running :(

Known problem?

Marc,

I'm seeing the same problem if I use the inbuilt entropy generator,
but if I use SUNWski's /dev/random, it's fine.

ssh also coredumps if I use the built in entropy generator if I
run it in verbose mode.

This is on a Sun SPARC 10 running Solaris 8

The same goes for Solaris-7. I also switched to SUNWski and it works
just fine.
