I just build OpenSSL 0.9.5, standard, on Solaris (SunOS) 5.6.
When I run "openssl s_client -connect www.foo.bar:443" I get this:

 unable to load 'random state'
 This means that the random number generator has not been seeded
 with much random data.
 Consider setting the RANDFILE environment variable to point at a file that
 'random' data can be kept in (the file will be overwritten).
 connect: Connection refused
 connect:errno=146
 error in s_client

On BSD machines this doesn't happen (I guess it guesses correctly that
it can use /dev/urandom or something?).  I know I can set the RANDFILE env 
variable to something; what are other Solaris users using?

Thanks.   -T.
