random for solaris

[Steve Foster]

All,


i have had to go searching for a /dev/random for solaris2.6 as it is not
included as standard. I have found an installed the ANDIrand package from
http://www.cosy.sbg.ac.at/~andi/ and it works well, when built into bind9.2.1

It installs the random generator as /dev/urandom, and then if you configure
bind with

./configure --with-randomdev=/dev/urandom etc.etc...

It them allows you to run rndc-confgen and not have to type into it to
generate the rndc.key, this is useful to me as i can now package the
binaries, and add rndc-confgen to my postinstall phase for installing from
a jumpstart build.

hope this helps somebody..

Steve
