That's not the proper error message I'm afraid. Most probably, you're
lacking a /dev/urandom - ssh needs it. There is currently no default
entropy translator, you can either search for an experimental one at
http://hurd.gnufans.org or just link any binary file to /dev/urandom,
like ln -s /bin/bash /dev/urandom
