    Hi All ,
     
     I am trying to get ssh working on my E5000 box with Solaris 8 . patch 112438-02 is required to provide /dev/random support . When I try to install the patch ,it comes out with the foll error :
     
     
    pkgadd: ERROR: checkinstall script did not complete
    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWcarx.u
    Original package not installed.
    Package not patched:
    PKG=SUNWmdbx
    Original package not installed.
    This appears to be an attempt to install the same architecture and
    version of a package which is already installed. This installation
    will attempt to overwrite this package.
    /var/tmp/patch/112438-02/SUNWcsr/install/checkinstall: /var/tmp/patch/112438-02/
    SUNWcsr/install/checkinstall: cannot open
     successfully
    Dryrun complete.
    No changes were made to the system.
     
     
    Now , I do not have any 64 bit packages installed on the system and even
    "isainfo -v" and "isainfo -kv" shows
    -> isainfo -v
    32-bit sparc applications
    -> isainfo -kv
    32-bit sparc kernel modules
     
    Does this mean tht the /dev/random functionality in Solaris 8 works only with 64 bit kernel/apps ? What do I do for the installation of the patch and resulting /dev/random functionality. This is a production box and downtimes are frowned upon ...
     
    PS :As an aside ...what is the general opionion abt using the freeware soln ANDIRAND on the prod box ??
     
    Thanks & Regards and I'll summarize
