PRNG_SEED is used by ssh to create random keys to encrypt data.

A better solution is to use a /dev/random device. This uses an entropy gathering mechanism which creates random numbers which are very difficult to predict.

If you're running Solaris 8 you can install patch 112438 which will create the /dev/random device.

For 2.6 and 7 you need to install SUNWski.
