I fail to understand the "bug" part in the subject. "PRNG in not seeded" is not an OpenSSL bug, it's *documented* and *intentional* behaviour mentioned even in FAQ. The only meaningful wording in this context may be "There is yet another way to address this issue under Solaris 8, not mentioned in FAQ. There are patches #112438-01 (SPARC) and #112439-01 (x86) adding /dev/random support available for free download from sunsolve.sun.com." The patch doesn't *correct* any OpenSSL problem, it provides adequate level of security OpenSSL well-foundedly insists upon. The ticket is being resolved.
