openSSH PRNG not seeded

openSSH PRNG not seeded

This errror is usually seen when the random number generator is broken.

To fix this

Remove the random devices

rm -rf /dev/random && rm -rf /dev/urandom

now recreate both

mknod /dev/random c 1 8 &&  mknod /dev/random c 1 9

    The correct command is:
    mknod /dev/random c 1 8 && mknod /dev/urandom c 1 9

    Thanks anyway
