I saw you've already received a couple of responses, but here's a suggestion. Check out Ralph Engelschall's Web site (http://www.engelschall.com/). I seem to recall him having some good documentation on creating your own CA, issuing certificates, etc. He's the creator of a great deal of the software involved. Of course, you've been able to do this under Linux for a long time. I think Microsoft finally started offering this capability in Win2k? Also, since you are the only user, it would be worth your time to go ahead and import the root certificate of your CA into your browser and click the boxes to trust it. This will make certificates issued by you be trusted by your browser, which will save you the hassle of even having to click past the warning every session. Happy hacking.
