random on Solaris

Jonas Blï¿½berg Tue, 04 Mar 2003 02:15:27 -0800

Hello!

I have installed PHP 4.2.3 on Solaris 7.


Unfortunately SUNWski (for /dev/random functionality) was not installed, but I found 
it on a Sun CD and installed it. Seemed to be working great, even though I did not 
know the version of the Sun CD.

But when I tried using some PHP scripts the web server process seems to hang when 
reading /dev/random.

I have tried to restart the cryptorand process with no luck. The permissions on 
/dev/random are 644.

So my guess is the SUNWski package has the wrong version. See "pkginfo -l SUNWski" 
below:

   PKGINST:  SUNWski
      NAME:  SKI 1.0 Software (User Package)
  CATEGORY:  application
      ARCH:  sparc
   VERSION:  1.0,REV=1998.09.24.00.00

     FILES:     36 installed pathnames
                10 shared pathnames
                 4 linked files
                11 directories
                16 executables
              3173 blocks used (approx)

Anyone who has some ideas about what version should be used? Should I use a non-Sun 
/dev/random package instead?

Thanx /jonas
