Hi,
When the openssl command is run, it fail with error which states, that
it was unable to get sufficient entropy.
On Solaris 10, the open(2) call is made with an O_NOFOLLOW option.
(which isn't exist in the previous version of Solaris).
On Solaris 9 and 10, /dev/random and /dev/urandom are symbolic links:
/dev/urandom -> ../devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:urandom
So, on Solaris 10, open(2) fails, because of O_NOFOLLOW option (don't
follow links...).
Workaround: remove O_NOFOLLOW from rand_unix.c and rebuild all rpms
depending on OpenSSL. see attached patch.
