If you tried to start sshd on Solaris and appeared an error message saying it couldn’t connect to PRNGD socket, you need to start this daemon first.
root@solaris6:/ # /etc/init.d/sshd start
Couldn’t connect to PRNGD socket “/var/spool/prngd/pool”: Connection refused
couldn’t read entropy commands file /usr/local/etc/ssh_prng_cmds: No such file or directory
ssh-rand-helper child produced insufficient data
Run /etc/init.d/prngd start and then start ssh again
root@solaris6:/ # /etc/init.d/prngd start
root@solaris6:/# /etc/init.d/sshd start
The daemon should be running now
root@solaris6:/ # ps -ef | grep ssh
root 19359 1 0 10:00:08 ? 0:00 /usr/local/sbin/sshd
