Hi all,

I have obtained a server certificate and the server is working fine. But
whenever the machine reboots (not very common though), I can't make the
web server start with ssl support because if I do that, I have to
physically be there to enter the passphrase. So I do a

/etc/init.d/apache stop
/etc/init.d/apache startssl
...
[enter the passphrase]
...

every time the machine is rebooted. Is there a way to decrypt the
server.key and keep a passphraseless version, so that I can start the
server without typing in the passphrase.

The machine doesn't have anything else on it or any other users, so
keeping a file open is not would not be very unsafe as far as local
exploits are concerned.
