Subject: OT:  OpenSSL Rant  :/

    Probably off-topic, but I need to rant anyways:

    I do not see where nor any How-To on the procedure for installing
    my own self-signed certificate. I even did a new tarball d/l from
    OpenSSL's site itself:

    OpenSSL 0.9.6a 5 Apr 2001
    built on: Mon May 28 00:19:23 EDT 2001
    platform: linux-sparcv9
    options: bn(64,32) md2(int) rc4(ptr,char) des(idx,cisc,16,long)
    idea(int) blowfish(ptr)
    compiler: gcc -DTHREADS -D_REENTRANT -mcpu=ultrasparc
    -DB_ENDIAN -DTERMIO -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall
    -Wa,-Av8plus -DULTRASPARC -DBN_DIV2W -DMD5_ASM

    It was successful, as was:
    /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newca
    /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -newreq
    /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -signreq
    /usr/ssl/misc/CA.pl -pkcs12 "InSecurity.Org"

    I suppose my real issue is I wish I knew what I was doing more than
    just the 'trial and error' development approach...

    Thx for listening;
    -Sneex- :]
