I setup some RSA keys before I get into DSA territory and my ideal goal
is to be using stunnel to retrieve email over ssl'ized imap.  I have it
working with Netscape's mail module now, but it doesn't work with OE.

It works in a browser as https://hostname in Netscape, but not in IE.
OE wont connect via SSL because it says that "The identity issuer is not
known," or something to that effect.  I'm assuming this is because I have
a self-signed key.  Big deal.

Anyway, it doesn't seem to work in IE/OE, and I'd like it to so that those
clients could be used.  Here is how I made the cert:

openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/private/server.key 1024

openssl req -new -key /etc/ssl/private/server.key -out \
/etc/ssl/private/server.csr 

openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in /etc/ssl/private/server.csr \
-signkey /etc/ssl/private/server.key -out /etc/ssl/server.crt

whats the word?
