  Related previous issue when changed from 30-days to 10-years:
  
  "ssl-cert generate-default-snakeoil provides no way to override default 30 
day expiration"

+ 
+ """
+ The openssl req command requires a -days argument to override the default 
number of days (30) for validity of self-signed certifiicates. 30 days seems an 
unreasonably low default. I have found no way to change this without fiddling 
with /usr/sbin/make-ssl-cert and adding "-days 365" (for example) to the 
relevant command line.
