Yes, there is. When you generate your key, you have the option of NOT using a passphrase, if you believe your system is impervious to penetration and theft of your private key. Really, though, unless you need to automatically (re)start SSL in the normal operation of your server, entering a passphrase on bootup isn't all that bad (especially if you only reboot once every few months or so like many FreeBSD admins running production machines) - Ryan -- Ryan Thompson Systems Administrator, Accounts Phone: +1 (306) 664-1161 SaskNow Technologies http://www.sasknow.com #106-380 3120 8th St E Saskatoon, SK S7H 0W2 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
