lack of /dev/random on Solaris 6 and 8

Hi All,
As we know, Solaris 6 and 8 don't carry /dev/random used by OpenSSL to
generate random numbers
my question is:
how does curl support SSL on Solaris 6 and 8? what are the alternatives used
by Curl?
are they really random enough? are they secure?

thanks a lot
