try running prngd, if u don't have it installed, you can get it from sunfreeware.com and to install it, just type pkgadd -d and the package name of prngd.
once it is finished adding the package, make sure the following directory exists /var/spool/prngd. then run the following command /usr/local/bin/prngd /var/spool/prngd/pool Prngd should work after that and if it starts fine, you won't see anything on the screen.
