Hi, if /etc/init.d/prngd start says PRNG not seeded, on solaris 8 you must to apply 112438-*.zip patch that create /dev/random and /dev/urandom (on solaris 6 -> "ln -s /var/spool/prngd/pool /dev/egd-pool") and then reboot.

P.S. If you don't want to reboot the server:
# rem_drv random
# add_drv add_drv -v -m "* 644 root sys" -i random random

Then you can to verify your new device:

# dd if=/dev/random bs=1 count=1|od -bc

ByeZ Davide :)
