Re: OUCH! Successful Install Broke Logons

 I realize that it's probably back to the install disks
 for me, ...

Before you do that, have you tried

boot: linux single

during bootup? If you can get on here, you can fix the problem.

Alternatively, you can get a copy of tomsrtbt and boot with that to find 
and fix the problem. (Can't remember the URL; http://lwn.net has a link 
from its Distributions page...)

RE: ssl-cert-HOWTO.txt for review

[Marcus Redivo]

Hello Franck,

I read through your document a couple of times. It looks like you did some
research, and the results are good.

Your document is much broader in scope than mine. Fortunately, there is not
much overlap; you could take the meat of mine and incorporate it into a
section of yours. You are welcome to do so.

I will be updating mine over the next couple of weeks to incorporate
feedback I have received, so you may want to hold off for the moment. I will
advise the list when the revisions are complete.

Regards,
Marcus

Subject: Re: ssl-cert-HOWTO.txt for review


I have written a certificate HOW-TO that I will submit very
soon to LDP.
You can find it in the archives of this list. Look for a HOWTO in the
subject. There is a PDF attachment to the message. I have
requested some
comments a few weeks ago and I have received a few that I'm
incorporating right now.

I think your work could be included in the HOW-TO I wrote and it will
come as a good complement. Could you please look into the
matter and let
me know what should be updated.

Thanks.

I have struggled with getting certificates in order on my

have seen others struggle with this too. It became
necessary to do a proper

I would like to contribute this for posting on
www.openssl.org. But first, I
think someone who actually _knows_ what they are doing should review my
document; preferably, several people. (Yesterday I couldn't spell
SSL...)

So here it is:

OpenSSL users and developers,

I have struggled with getting certificates in order on my servers, and I
have seen others struggle with this too. It became necessary to do a proper
job, so I decided I should write up what I had to learn as a HOWTO.

So here it is:

http://www.binarytool.com/ssl-cert-HOWTO.txt

Please, if you have the time, take a look through this and make sure I'm not
telling lies or leading people into danger. Send me mail at the address
below, as I'm not on the list.

One specific thing I would like to be able to control on the non-CA
certificates is the Any Purpose CA : Yes attribute; what do I put in the
config file to change this to No?

Thanks very much in advance for your input.
