GPG secmem issue

[spoodie]

I've installed GPG 1.2.1 from a pkg I downloaded from Sunfreeware.com and when I try to generate a key I get the following message, can anybody give me some advice for correcting this, it occurs immediately after entering the passphrase:

You need a Passphrase to protect your secret key.

gpg: fatal: can't open /dev/urandom: No such file or directory
secmem usage: 2272/2272 bytes in 7/7 blocks of pool 2272/16384

Hi,

WHat version of solaris are you running? If version 8, you need to apply random patch.

sparc 8 - 112438-01
intel 8 - 112439-01

Solaris 8 does not come with /dev/random and /dev/urandom built-in, but patches have been released to correct this.

regards,
