Hello,

I submitted this patch almost 2 months back.

It is a patch to help FreeBSD users generate secure SSL keys.

What can I do to get this patch excepted?

Regards,

Roland

Patch for openssl chapter in handbook.

The current SSL key generation chapter contains a few inaccuracies and
the generated keys are not up to date with today's standards.

This patch shows how to generate secure keys and includes a good place for more
information, namely the openssl cookbook.

Mainly:

- Use RSA for key generation, instead of DSA.
- Fix documentation that lied about generation an RSA key while it actually was
DSA.
- Use SHA256 for signatures instead of older SHA1:

- Use recommended 2048 bits instead of 1024.
