Public bug reported:
The instructions in the Ubuntu Server Guide for creating a certificate
signing request (for instance at
https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/C/certificates-and-
security.html) are out of date in that they instruct the user to create
a 1024-bit key:
"openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024"
Most certificate authorities no longer accept 1024-bit RSA keys and
instead require a minimum key size of 2048. The instructions could be
amended to replace "1024" with "2048" (and the corresponding sample
output text modified to match) without additional changes.
