I am fairly new to the mod_ssl game, and am trying to get together
a Secure Server for testing purposes and perhaps future ideas for 
the technology.

I ahve installed a LOT of web servers in the past including the piece of
garbage Oracle Web Server, Netscape's stuff, the old CERN and NCSA stuff
etc.

Anyway, I followed the step - by - step instructions, which were very
good, by the way, but ran into some difficulties.

I am installing on a Dec Alpha (OSF 4.0) with the following compon.:
SSLeay-0.9.0b.tar.gz
apache_1.3.2.tar.gz
mod_ssl-2.0.11-1.3.2.tar.gz
rsaref2.tar.gz


A couple of things really:

1) in your FAQ, you mentioned an app called "s_client" in the 
SSLeay dist. that is used for testing the 443 port.  I couldn't
find the app.

2) running the "make certification" produce the following errors:

======
$ make certificate

Generating test certificate signed by Snake Oil CA [TEST]
WARNING: Do not use this for real-life/production systems

............../support/mkcert.sh: 26505 Memory fault - core dumped
mkcert.sh:Error: Failed to generate RSA private key

even tried:

======

make certificate TYPE=custom
