Does the last "line" of each of the files end in a newline character?
A missing newline at the end of file1 or file2 will corrupt the
concatenated result.
In that case, you'll get more useful results with:
perl -lne print file1 file2 file3
rather than :
cat file1 file2 file3
Also with "cat ... > ws.pem", if ws.pem does not already exist it may be
created world-readable. Be sure to set a sensible umask (077), or:
# rm -f combo.pem
# openssl pkey -in keyfile.pem -out combo.pem
# perl -lne print certfile.pem ... >> combo.pem
which sets sensible permissions when creating a new private key file.
