Sun recently release a new patch that adds /dev/random support to
Solaris (Patch-ID# 112438-01).  When I did a fresh compile and install
of OpenSSL 0.9.6c and then OpenSSH 3.1p1, OpenSSH does not use
/dev/random even though I put in the --with-random=/dev/random.  It
looks as if it is using information/methods from OpenSSL to tell it what
to use.

I have looked at trying to compile openSSL with the new /dev/random, but
I cannot tell what flag to use or what I need to modify to force it to
use the new /dev/random (just modify the Makefile.ssl with
DEVRANDOM=/dev/random?).

Has anyone successfully using the new /dev/random with OpenSSL and
OpenSSH?  If so, what "recipe" did you use?
