OpenLDAP, OpenSSL, and Fedora 10 Stop Liking One Another ?

[Oscar Plameras]

Yes, I have. This what I do to create certificates:

#cd /etc/pki/tls
#./misc/CA -newca             # do once the first time
#./misc/CA -newreq            # do everytime you want another
#./misc/CA -sign                #

This will create a directory CA under /etc when you do #./misc/CA the
first time.
