Hello, and a good day to you all.

What ever happened to the handy dandy mkcert.sh script? I looked in my
new slack 12.1 install, but could not find it.

Is it gone in the new release? Is there a new better way to create
certs for apache?

Thanks,

Bob

Solved. The mkcert.sh was a custom script I grabbed from linuxpackages.net.

Made my cert the old fashioned way.

All is well in the world now!

You only need to do 3 things, chuck it in a bash script and call it as
../script domain

openssl genrsa -out $1.key 1024
openssl req -new -key $1.key -out $1.csr
openssl x509 -in $1.csr -out $1.cert -req -signkey $1.key -days 999

I read usenet and lists in pine. But m$ outlook, thunderbird and gmail
often use html span/whatever for quotes, makes it hard to tell who said
what, so I dont try. If I ignore you, thats why! Use a compliant mailer.
