2. Looking further into previous error encountered: "PRNG is not seeded"

/dev files (random and urandom) permission changed to r for the "seeding" to be executed. It was detected that files only have crw access for the file owner and no permission to anyone else (crw------- ). Hence, this is the reason why it worked with root id.

Upon changes to the permission of the files (crw-r--r--), sftp worked with any id with the same results above.
