Getting ssh working?

I was trying to get ssh setup on my A/UX install using Rob Braun's compile, but I can't seem to get enough entropy to make it happy. I tried creating an `ssh_prng_cmds` and fill it out with entropy commands that work in A/UX, but no dice, just doesn't get enough entropy to work, bailing with:

Code:
ssh-rand-helper child produced insufficient data

Is anyone successfully using ssh with A/UX? Do I just need to force some entropy safeties off in ssh?

Ah! Got it, the PRNGD daemon must be started:

Code:
mkdir -p /var/run
/usr/local/sbin/prngd /var/run/egd-pool -c /usr/local/prngd-0.9.29/etc/prngd.conf -n

Well, new blocker, inbound ssh sort of works, I get a login banner, but then things terminate and I get an EOF.

Code:
debug2: exec request accepted on channel 0
debug3: receive packet: type 98
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype exit-signal reply 0
debug3: receive packet: type 98
debug1: client_input_channel_req: channel 0 rtype eow@openssh.com reply 0
debug2: channel 0: rcvd eow
debug2: chan_shutdown_read: channel 0: (i0 o0 sock -1 wfd 6 efd 8 [write])
debug2: channel 0: input open -> closed

Strange...
