Can't find a device under /dev

Hi all,

I am trying to see /dev/hwrng but can not find it. There are /dev/random and /dev/urandom but not the hwrng. Works the same config at other os.

Any idea what might be happening ?

Thanks

I don't believe Solaris has a hwrng - hardware random number generator device by default. Linux does.

Solaris uses /dev/random for both software and hardware random number generators.
If an hardware RNG is available on your host (see "cryptoadm list" output), you should be able to use "cryptoadm enable" to enable it. Have a loot to this thread True random numbers in Sol10
