Great.  I tried the following:

root@net:/home/ron# openssl x509 -in ident.crt -out ident.p12 -outform pkcs12

I tried to import this file into netscape and into mozilla.  No go - they both
complain that the cert is corrupted.  I guess this begs the question: how does
one go about creating the pkcs12 format certificate?

Thanks
