The addition of the SUNWski package (and specifically the
presence of /dev/random) seems to have broken outgoing ssh connections:
[zacheiss@x15-cruise-basselope] ~$ ps -ef | grep ssh
root 507 1 0 22:37:19 ? 0:00 sshd -s
zacheiss 1932 1823 0 00:13:33 pts/3 0:00 ssh -v -x ttsp
zacheiss 1946 1940 0 00:14:14 pts/6 0:00 ssh -x csw
zacheiss 1948 1935 0 00:14:29 pts/5 0:00 grep ssh
[zacheiss@x15-cruise-basselope] ~$ truss -p 1932
open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY) (sleeping...)
^C[zacheiss@x15-cruise-basselope] ~$ truss -p 1946
open("/dev/random", O_RDONLY) (sleeping...)
I let both of these connections sit for 5 minutes, and then
gave up on them. If I killed skiserv and deleted /dev/random, the same
ssh sessions were established immediately.
I'm beginning to favor giving up on the SUNWski package entirely.
