Subject: OpensSSL Server Certificates
I have been rolling my eyes over the man pages for 'req' 'openssl' and 'ssl'
and haven't done much better with www.openssl.org so perhaps someone can
point me in the right direction.

I want to create a self-signed certificate for my apache based web server
with mod_ssl installed and apparently working if you call certificates
signed as SomeOrganization Somewhere and localhost and localdomain a
presentable certificate. I can't believe it is that hard to do but it is
escaping me. Can anyone point me to a instruction page that someone from the
lower 98% can understand?

Craig
