HP-UX Secure Shell A.05.00.012, A.05.00.013, and A.05.00.014 Release Notes

possible to link the <newroot>/dev/log file to the /dev/log file, resulting in
users not being able to view the subset of syslog messages.
Workaround: There is no workaround for this problem. Users of chroot-ed HP-UX
Secure Shell environments must be aware that a subset of messages written by the
sshd daemon will not show up in syslog.
HP-UX Secure Shell and the Strong Random Number Generator
HP-UX Secure Shell requires that a random number generator be located on the system.
It searches for /dev/urandom and /dev/random (in that sequence) on the system
and uses the first device it finds. If it fails to locate these two devices, HP-UX Secure
Shell uses its own internal random number generator program. The /dev/urandom
and /dev/random devices are available by default on HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i
v3 systems. These devices can also be obtained for HP-UX 11i v1 by downloading and
installing the HP-UX Strong Random Number Generator from http://software.hp.com.
If you are using HP-UX Secure Shell on HP-UX 11i v1, HP recommends that you install
the Strong Random Number Generator product as it significantly speeds up program
initialization and execution time for some commands.
