|

.Os
|
|
.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm ssh-rand-helper
|
|
.Nd random number gatherer for OpenSSH
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm ssh-rand-hlper
|
|
.Op Fl vxXh
|
|
.Op Fl b Ar bytes
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a small helper program used by
|
|
.Xr ssh 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ssh-add 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ssh-agent 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ssh-keygen 1 ,
|
|
.Xr ssh-keyscan 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr sshd 8
|
|
to gather random numbers of cryptographic quality if the
|
|
.Xr openssl 4
|
|
library has not been configured to provide them itself.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Normally
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will generate a strong random seed and provide it to the calling
|
|
program via standard output. If standard output is a tty,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will instead print the seed in hexidecimal format unless told otherwise.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will by default gather random numbers from the system commands listed
|
|
in
|
|
.Pa /etc/ssh/ssh_prng_cmds .
|
|
The output of each of the commands listed will be hashed and used to
|
|
generate a random seed for the calling program.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will also store seed files in
|
|
.Pa ~/.ssh/prng_seed
|
|
between executions.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Alternately,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may be configured at build time to collect random numbers from a
|
|
EGD/PRNGd server via a unix domain or localhost tcp socket.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This program is not intended to be run by the end-user, so the few
|
|
commandline options are for debugging purposes only.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl b Ar bytes
|
|
Specify the number of random bytes to include in the output.
|
|
.It Fl x
|
|
Output a hexidecimal instead of a binary seed.
|
|
.It Fl X
|
|
Force output of a binary seed, even if standard output is a tty
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Turn on debugging message. Multiple
|
|
.Fl v
|
|
options will increase the debugging level.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Display a summary of options.
