	Hi Rocklyn,

	It looks like you updated your machine to 9.0 relatively
recently.  You were bit by a bug in the 8.4 -> 9.0 update process;
it should be easy to fix, though.

	First, run the commands

	       ls -l /dev/random
	       ls -l /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1

and save the output.  I'll be interested in seeing it.

        Then, to fix the problem, you should just need to do the
following (as root):

	       mkdir /var/etc

also, if the output of "ls -l /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1" indidcates
that it's a symlink to a file in /os, you'll need to do this as well:

	       rm -f /usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1
	       cp -p /os/usr/lib/sparcv9/libm.so.1 /usr/lib/sparcv9/

You should then be able to start cryptorand, which should make sshd work
again.

Let us know if you have any trouble.

Garry
