Note, that SUNWski 1.0 from patch 105710-01 will not work for
64-bit kernel (solaris 2.7), so you will need to ask Sun for
SUNWski from SunWebserver 2.1, since it is not included in Solaris CDs.
Sun tech support advised me a freeware non-sun-supported version of
/dev/random/ - http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/
