Solaris does, in fact, have a /dev/[u]random. You must install
SUNWski, from the Solaris Easy Access CD-ROM (or something like
that). You may have to obtain that from Sun separately from the
Solaris base install disks.
SUNWski, BTW, is part of the Skipjack support and contains
things like /dev/random needed by the rest of the Skipjack
software.
