[plug] pop3 over SSL

[Jun Tanamal]

In reference to "Sharky's Linux Notes" at http://linuxdocs.org/sln/pop3s/

After installing OpenSSL-0.9.6-1 then there is this next step:

---snip---
3. make certificate for stunnel

Our plan is to use stunnel, a utility included with Open SSL, to create a secure channel through which all POP3 data can be exchanged. Before we can do this, however, we need to create a piece of data called a "certificate." You can do this without worrying too much about what this means, and it won't cost you a penny, either.

First, change into the certificates directory:

cd /usr/share/ssl/certs/

Next, run the "stunnel certificate generator" by executing the command:

make stunnel.pem
-----snip-----
In my Redhat 6.1 it's /etc/ssl/certs then doing '#make stunnel.pem' I receive this message,

make: *** No rule to make target `stunnel.pem'. Stop.

What is the correct way of making certificates? Or is it because it's applicable in Redhat7 only?

Thanks,

Jun
