Thanks Lutz, for helping out - your tips really got me pointed in the right direction.

I removed the original /usr/local/ssl and re-installed openssl-0.9.6g completely from 
source. Then I untarred the source for openssh and did "./configure 
--with-prngd-socket=/path/to/socket" and it configured cleanly (no header-library 
mismatch). Then I did make, then make install and now ssh works again... :->

So it seems the openssh pkg from sunfreeware expects to find /den/urandom on the 
system - which is a bit rich since according to Sun "Solaris comes unbundled with 
/dev/urandom" :-)

As ever, the lesson is: "Use the source, Luke. Use the source..."

rgds,

Owen Boyle.
