I'd like to still do this, but I also recently installed SSL and so I need to use "apachetcl startssl" instead of "apachetcl start". (You know where this is headed now, right? :-) So this requires me to supply my SSL Certificate PEM pass phrase. Apparently interactively. Now I could certainly have it read stdin during the "apachetcl start" and feed it a file with my pass phrase in it, in clear text. Or I could write a small program that obscure it a bit and piped it to "apachetcl startssl". Or I could do it the Right Way. I just wish I knew what the Right Way is... jdl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
