Actually, the SUWski package can be found in the Sun patch 105710-01
as well, which is available for free and can be downloaded from sunsolve.

You don't have to install the whole package if you need the
/dev/[u]random functionality only. Only a few files are required from
the package:

/etc/init.d/cryptorand
/etc/rc1.d/K64cryptorand
/etc/rc2.d/S50cryptorand
/usr/lib/security/cryptorand
/var/etc
