You should install egd, ekgd, SUNWski, or ANDIrand to get a reasonable
random number generator for Solaris, and then build OpenSSL
appropriately for whichever one you use.  (We've seen hangs waiting for
randomness to develop with egd and SUNWski, the randomness of ANDIrand
is as yet undetermined, and ekgd is a PRNG seeded from /etc/srvtab, for
those who care about the quality of their random seeds....)
