OtherRequirements

HP-UX SecureShell requires that a random number generator be located on the system. Itsearches for dev/urandom and dev/random(in that sequence) on the system and uses the first device it finds. The dev/urandomand dev/randomdevices are available by default on HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3 operatingsystems. These devices can also be obtained for HP-UX 11i v1 by downloading andinstalling the HP-UX Strong Random Number Generator from http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=KRNG11I.HP recommends that Secure Shell users on HP-UX 11i v1 systems install theStrong Random Number Generator product as it significantly speeds up programinitialization and execution time for some commands.
