Do you have any other suggestions? :) You can regenerate the snakeoil certificate dynamically when the system is first started. This ensures that every installation has a unique SSL private key. The command to regenerate the certificate and key is: make-ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil --force-overwrite For running a script once at the next bootup you can do something like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/19074/how-can-i-make-a-command-run-once-the-next-time-i-log-in > > Like I wrote, this is for users struggling with getting their > self-signed SSL to work, and maybe don´t know so much about Linux, or > setting up servers.
