I think there is either a bug in the docs or in one of the scripts/tools
used in the guide.
I got up to the section "Enter the following to create the server
certificates:". After running the command "./pkitool --initca", it
generated the following output with the last line being continuously
repeated. I had to hit ^C (CTRL-C) to exit the script and return to the
bash prompt (after waiting for ~2 mins for the script to stop scrolling
the last line). I repeated the commands "./clean-all", "./build-dh",
and "./pkitool --initca" multiple times with the same result (except
that the amout of . and + characters printed from the pkitool output
changed every time).
$ ./pkitool --initca
