Cool, thanks!... So I've done that, I needed to use the make certificate
instead of the openssh commands because of the lack of a /dev/random on
Solaris 8 (I don't know why make is able to do make it happen when I
can't).  Anyway, each time I run it it generates a new server.key file,
I need to keep each of these right?...perhaps name them based on the
virtual host each are for?
