Re: ssh_connect fails: Received SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT 33554432:bad client public DH value


Zvi,

Please tell me the random in libssh/openssl doesn't come out of rand().
This function is highly insecure and should not be used for
cryptography. There are two acceptable ways of generating random, one of
them is a /dev/?random device, the other is an EGD (entropy gathering
daemon). The 1024 bits integer is a bignum. It is generated by the
libcrypto library. I don't understand why the generated number is zero.

Did you modify libcrypto/libssl ? Does openssh run normally ?

Aris
