Yeouch! You should either have Prngd, or some kind of /dev/random
/dev/urandom on there. Apache does have it's *built-in* by default,
though it's not truly recommended for production use. 

Solaris doesn't do SSL well. :(

There is an official backport from Solaris 9, to solaris 7 and 8 for an
official /dev/random and /dev/urandom devices. Search over at bigadmin,
and you should find it.
