Hi Paul,

Could you post the output of

# ll /dev/random
# ll /dev/urandom

# kcmodule -v rng

# swlist |grep -I krng

Regards,
Robert-Jan

# ll /dev/random
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 115 0x000000 Jan 7 07:26 /dev/random

# ll /dev/urandom
crw-r--r-- 1 root root 115 0x000001 Jan 7 07:26 /dev/urandom

# kcmodule -v rng
Module rng (0.1.0)
Description Strong Random Number Generator
State unused (because of an error)
State at Next Boot unused (because of an error)
Capable loaded unused
Depends On interface HPUX_11_23:1.0


# swlist |grep -i krng
Nothing

Do "swlist -l fileset -a state" and find out about any installed or corrupt packages.
Normally all filesets are "configured".
In case anything is wrong here do an "swverify \*". This will probably give a hint about what's wrong.
Finally try to load the module manually:
kcmodule rng=loaded

My 2 cents,
Armin

Problem solved.

There was a problem with an old fc-driver that caused this. Not easy to find out, but thanks to HP support it was solved.

The fc-driver that was installed was from the september 06 release of HP-UX 11.23.
