  I have tried about a half dozen thrid party Entropy gatherers, then I
came across an old mailing list archive that made reference to Sun Patch
number 105710-01 which has a package in it called SUNWski. The SUNWski
package creates /dev/random and was originally used to fix Sun's webserver
or something useless like that, however this patch works great. You do a
simple pkgadd and it's done. You can get the patch from
http://access1.sun.com however I've had problems gettign anything from
them lately. The patches are mirrored and more readily available at:

        ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/sun-info/sun-patches/

 It should work nicely.
