Thanks to: Andrew J Caines, Ed Sanborn, Casper Dik to name a few.
The responses were mixed between, "You need to reboot to lad the driver"
and "Take a look at Andrew's script in the archives (sorry I missed
that)".
Anyway, what I've found now on several machines is that I can install the
patch like the following and all seems fine:
Patch number 112438-01 has been successfully installed.
See /var/sadm/patch/112438-01/log for details
Executing postpatch script...
Reboot client to install driver.
Patch packages installed:
SUNWcarx
SUNWcsr
SUNWhea
SUNWmdb
SUNWmdbx
ymir:/tmp% rem_drv random
ymir:/tmp% add_drv random
ymir:/tmp% ls -l /dev/random
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 33 Jul 23 14:32 /dev/random ->
../devices/pseudo/random@0:random
ymir:/home/ops% ls -l /dev/urandom
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root other 34 Jul 23 14:32 /dev/urandom ->
../devices/pseudo/random@0:urandom
modinfo |grep random
122 10221aa2 1dea 217 1 random (random number device v1.1)
After this i did a:
ymir:/tmp% dd if=/dev/random of=foo bs=512 count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
and this outputed random garbage to foo. After this I was able to
recompile, and install OpenSSH and have it use the random device.
