Hi guys,

thanks for always being so helpful.

When I run ssh i.e

Code:

$ ssh dns1

I get this error:

cannot read from /dev/urandom, Permission denied

Any help with this will be truly appreciated.

Thanks Always

Are you trying to run ssh, or ssh-keygen?

If urandom isn't made yet, you can use MAKEDEV like this:

Code:

MAKEDEV urandom
or
/sbin/MAKEDEV urandom

This site actually seems to be talking about your issue:
