I have build sendmail with TLS and SASL Support under Sol8 but getting this error when I start the sendmail:

/dev/random exist and is a link to /devices/pseudo/[EMAIL PROTECTED]:urandom
The safeopen() perhaps dislike the permissions or owner of /dev/urandom or the file it linked to or on some parent directory. It usually complains if anything in the path to some files do not have good permissions or ownerships. Check this.
sendmail doesnt complain about the permission but about the fact that the /dev/urandom is a symlink, and the target is a device :-)
I had a deeper look into the sources and it seems that the sendmail define HASURANDOMDEV is only be set if the maschine runs under Sol9 or higher. One way around this seems to change the .spec and add a line with an APPENDDEF(`confENVDEF',`-DHASURANDOMDEV') to the sendmail config part, but I'm not sure if this is the right way to do. Any other proposals?
