Dear SSL experts and aficionados and RH gurus,

I am hoping someone out there has a piece of arcane (to me)
knowledge...

(Running RH-7.3,  apache-1.3.23-14, openssl-0.9.6b-18)

I note that during reboot (a rare event), some one trusted
has to be around to manually key in the pass phrase to the
server.key file - sometimes it waits for this, and sometimes not;
in either case, unattended, the httpd sits around waiting to start.

(I learned this the other day when a power outage convinced
my system to shut down, and it restarted when power resumed).

So my question is, is there a way to generate a key that does not
look for a pass phrase, or automagically pipe the contents of some
file, or some such work around, so that unattended, it can
come up and function as a server?

Any discussion of experience would be helpful

Many thanks.

--Dave
