If you want to make a self-signed certificate, suitable for use with
apache, or sendmail or various other programs, there's a neat little
(barebones, no explanation) guide at:
http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/other/cagreg.html
You may need to edit newreq.pem to extract the private key from it --
which is pretty obvious how to do just from looking at the file.
Cheers,
Matthew
NB. Verb. Sap. Some applications (*cough* Outlook *cough*) get upset
when the OU in the certificate is the same as the OU of your
certificate authority.
Cheers,
Matthew
