No other vsd.accounts* files (did a "find -name" on the whole file system)
Im running as root - has permission to write to /tmp and /usr/local/tmp
(which I created just in case - got the impression that the source install
of freeVSD sort of likes everything rooted to /usr/local)
Another thing, when I add a VS using "vsdadm vs_create" shouldn't this add
an entry to the /usr/local/vsd.conf file as this doesn't seem to be
happening either!
Can you just confirm that 'accept the defaults' in the user-guide.txt when
talking about vsd-genhostcert.pl does actually mean hit return without
typing anything EXCEPT type Y to sign the certificate? (NB: I know that
common name must be "chiefwigham" first and "<root>" 2nd.)
Thanks in advance,

PS: I did have a newer version of Open-SSL installed but since have removed
it (rpm -e) and installed the one in pkgs directory and the devel one.
PPS: Cheers for the path info.
