Sun decide to make available "/dev/random" and "/dev/urandom" in Solaris 8, (Previous Sun announce this as a Solaris 9 new), all you need is install patch 112438-01 and reboot. Now we can e.g. install openssh 3.1 without the need of also install the "prngd" package (Pseudo Random Number Generator Daemon) or create openssl certificates,etc...

Regards,

Carlos Almeida.
