Reason #942 not to just take "defaults" when installing Red Hat Linux. You're better off deleting all of their "auto" crap and then installing what you need from scratch. At least then you know exactly where everything is.

Hi. Unbelievable, I searched all the servers for openssl.conf and found nothing. Some of these are stock standard default installatio sraight from the distro CDs from RH. I am going to install OpenSSL from sratch this weekend and ditch RH's distro copy. find /usr openssl.conf -type f find /usr -name openssl.conf etc... Nope. I mean, when you configure these things, the sey parametric values have to go somewhere, right ? That does it, download, compile, install OpenSSL this weekend. Ouch!

I don't know about Redhat's openssl installation, but propably it spreads over several directories.
However there should be an openssl.conf somewhere, maybe its in /etc/openssl.conf or /usr/local/openssl/openssl.conf
If you can't find it, this might help: find /etc -name openssl.conf or find /usr -name openssl.conf
Installing openssl from source would also help getting a clean (and more secure) openssl installation with everything in one directory.
And don't mix up Apache2 ssl.conf with openssl.conf, they've got nothing to do with each other. In Apache 1 all the SSL stuff was in httpd.conf, in Apache 2 they just put that into conf/ssl.conf.

Hi. Thanks, I got EngelSchall's sign.sh. I am going through exactly those doco as we "speak", I think the problem with the documentation is that they refer to dfferent versions than mine. On my default RH7.1 Linux installation, I do not have /usr/local/ssl or /etc/ssl/openssl.conf, yet it comes well equipped with /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt ad /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.key. On the other hand, the Apache2 httpd.conf uses an Include conf/ssl.conf which doesn't look like the instructions on the documentation. I am so confused, I need a beer. Soooo, I won't be finishing the task this week.
