Hi People,

After downloading openssl and openssh from sunfreeware.com, for my sparc/8, I'm
geeting the error "PRNG not seed" whenever I try to use ssh.

Reading the FAQ, this error is there, but I still am unable to fix it.

I've run, as root:

# /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl
OpenSSL> rand 128
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).
563:error:24064064:random number generator:SSLEAY_RAND_BYTES:PRNG not
seeded:md_rand.c:501:You need to read the OpenSSL FAQ,
http://www.openssl.org/support/faq.html
error in rand
OpenSSL>

So, what am I doing wrong??

I've also installed patch 112438-01, to enable random support, but the file
/dev/random is not in my system (I even rebooted the machine after installing
the patch).

Thanks a lot,

Leo
