Yesterday and today I received this notice:

  ################# SSL Certificate Warning ################

   Certificate for hostname 'server.gisnet.com', in file (or by nickname):
      /etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt

   The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done
   using the 'genkey' program.

   Browsers will not be able to correctly connect to this
   web site using SSL until the certificate is renewed.

  ##########################################################
                                   Generated by certwatch(1)


I have no clue what to do about this, so I went to Google and asked the 
planetary brain for guidance. I must not have asked the question carefully 
enough, because I didn't get much of an answer. I did get a Googlet that told 
me that this was from root on my server, and it's telling me replace or renew 
the certificate on my server so that won't block people browsing my site.

Now I'm stuck. I've run out of knowledge. I have only a vague  understanding of 
certificates and I don't know which kind of cert I need or which renew command 
to use. Could someone help me choose the right option to use for  genkey and 
give that notice what it wants to see?


Thanks so much,
- Bill Thoen
