I had the same problem, it's some special kind of "recognize new device drivers" boot that my system support person didn't know how to do -- after he went home I found these scripts on the web: (There are two scripts here, separated by a line of four ==== signs. The first is the newer (and is a followup to the second) but what I actually did was manually type commands from the second script till it worked... heck of a way to program, eh?) ==== http://halplant.com:88/software/Solaris/scripts/setup_random #!/usr/bin/ksh # Set up Solaris random device from patch 112438-01 without reboot # Moderate error checking only since this should be straightforward. # # (c) 2002 Andrew J.

The device major varies and should be taken from /etc/name_to_major. The random device needs to be primed with some data before it will work. I have scripted a simple tool to perform all the necessary steps after the patch application. See attached. Run setup_random and answer the questions. UID 0 required. I have tested this and found no problems, but please let me know if you have any problems, comments, criticisms or money you'd like to give me. -Andrew- -- ________________________________________________________________ | -Andrew J.
