Hi all,

Sorry for crossposting. As probleme may occur from both sides, I thouth it
would be quicker.

What I have:
openssl 0.9.6a
openssh 2.9p1
postgresql 7.1.2
unixware 711

After install of openssl and openssh , I can successfully ssh and sft,
slogin etc between the two unixware machines

After compiling postgresql with openssl enabled and accepting ssl
connections , psql failes connect to the backend complaining PRNG is not
seeded.

According to docs and sources, this is because unixware lacks a
/dev/urandom device.

I tried prngd but it did'nt help.

Is there any way eithr in openssl or postgresql to have a kludge that
seeds the PRNG??

Many thanks for your time

Regards,
