Re: make test fails on solaris 2.8 x86

Hi,

my system is indeed lacking a "/dev/(u)random", and running
the command line you suggested did solve the "make test"
problem.
I tried to download the patch suggested on the openssl site
but discovered that this patch is only available for customers
with a support contract... but ok, my OpenLDAP problem is
solved.
thank you.

Luc

: Take a look in tests/test-db/ldapsearch.out.  If there's a message in
: front of there about 'PRNG not seeded...' then you need to create a
: ~/.rnd file, set up an Entropy Gathering Daemon, or if your system
: has /dev/urandom or /dev/random and it's not being used for some
: reason sort that out.
: 
: The www.openssl.org page is useful for this; the command to generate it
: is:
: 	openssl rand -out ~/.rnd -rand /etc/motd:/proc/1 256
: 
: The most important arg is the -rand one, which should be a number of
: colon-separated paths to files that have unpredicatable values.  
: This is the least desireable solution, vs. having a real daemon or
: device to give you random information, but it will allow you to test
: if this is indeed the problem.
