Using a variation of a test case for the same bug found at http://redes- privadas-virtuales.blogspot.com/2013/02/paramiko-object-with-process- rng-must.html.
Looks like this is actually still in issue using the patched package in raring python-paramiko 1.7.7.1-3.1, and the similarly patched package in precise-proposed doesn't fix the issue either. Test case: import paramiko from multiprocessing import Process class B(): def __init__(self): self.__process = None self.__ssh = paramiko.SSHClient() self.__ssh.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy()) self.__ssh.connect('somelocalsystem', username='adam', password='xxxxxx') def start(self): self.__process = Process(target=self.__run_process) self.__process.start() def __run_process(self): _, stdout, _ = self.__ssh.exec_command("hostname") b = B() b.start() Results in a exception on both /w both raring and precise-proposed packages: File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Crypto/Random/_UserFriendlyRNG.py", line 138, in _check_pid raise AssertionError("PID check failed. RNG must be re-initialized after fork(). Hint: Try Random.atfork()") AssertionError: PID check failed. RNG must be re-initialized after fork().
