Rick:

There was no kgcc on my server, but I did find cc and
when I configured openssl to use cc, it compiled, tested
and installed fine.  

Unfortunately, I am now having a problem with the self-signed
certificate that I created.  Here is what I did:

openssl genrsa -des3 -out server.key 1024 
openssl req -new -key server.key -out server.csr 
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 1024
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt 
openssl req -x509 -in server.csr -key ca.key > server.crt
cp server.key server.key.orig
openssl rsa -in server.key.orig -out server.key 
chmod 400 server.key 

After I pointed apache 1.3.19 with mod_ssl to the server.key 
and server.crt and restarted apache, I tried to visit
https://[server name] and I got back an error message that
stated that the server certificate has an invalid signature
and that I am not able to connect securely to the server.

Any ideas on this one?

Thanks,
	Neil.
