RE: SUMMARY: /dev/random for Solaris 8

I wanted to report that an email came in after I had submitted this summary
from Anrew J. Caines. I followed his advice and tested this script. It
works great! This script allows applying the patch 112438-01 without
rebooting.

The script can be obtained at:

Thanks Andrew!

The original inquiry was:
I have loaded the sunfreeware.com gnupg-1.2.1-sol8 package sparc and have
had no success determining how to get the /dev/random - /dev/random devices
for Solaris 8. Can anyone give me a clue?
