problems with maintaining an SSL Certificate on a Solaris box? Or are these
problems only related to Microsoft incompatibilities? <<

In my limited experience so far, certificates are trivially easy to obtain,
install and maintain under Unix (or OpenBSD at least). I don't know about NT
directly, but I note that the OpenBSD/SSL project I'm working on now started
out as an NT job but was abandoned, and that the Apache manual refers to NT
as a wholly unsuitable vehicle for a secure server.
