Summary: opensshd - PRNG is not seeded - Patch 112438 doesn't install properly

Thanks to Casper Dik who put me back on track:

His answer was:

  Remove the device nodes you installed; then try:
  rem_drv random
  add_drv -m '* 0644 root sys' random

Which led me to do the following:

First,I removed the devices I had made and then the symbolic links.
# rm /devices/pseudo/random@0:random
# rm /devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom
# rm /dev/urandom /dev/random
# rem_drv random
Driver (random) not installed.  (Not surprised as it was never loaded in the
first place)
# add_drv -m '* 0644 root sys' random
# modinfo|grep random
224 1027d26e 1dea 231 1 random (random number device v1.1)
The devices were recreated:
0 crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 231, 0 Jul 22 10:45 /devices/pseudo/random@0:random
0 crw-r--r-- 1 root sys 231, 1 Jul 22 10:45 /devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom
# cd /dev
# ln -s ../devices/pseudo/random@0:random /dev/random
# ln -s ../devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom /dev/urandom

Et voila, ca marche:
# /etc/init.d/opensshd start
