ssh error "PRNG is not seeded"

[Didier Wiroth]

Hi, thanks for answering.

I think, I've found the problem, 
I don't have a /dev/random device. 
I built a custom kernel and omitted "device random", I've rebuilt the kernel with this device now, I will test this tomorrow and see it helps.

Thanks
Didier
