Server certificates

[hanasaki]

I use these files to make my certs for imap-ssl under courier imap.

script:
==============
root at portal:[31]/usr/lib/courier/sbin cat mkimapdcert
#! /bin/sh
#
# $Id: mkimapdcert.in,v 1.4 2001/08/26 15:49:50 mrsam Exp $

# distribution information.
#
# This is a short script to quickly generate a self-signed X.509 key for
# IMAP over SSL.  Normally this script would get called by an automatic
# package installation routine.

test -x /usr/bin/openssl || exit 0

if test -f /usr/lib/courier/share/imapd.pem
then
         echo "/usr/lib/courier/share/imapd.pem already exists."
         exit 1
fi

cp /dev/null /usr/lib/courier/share/imapd.pem

         rm -f /usr/lib/courier/share/imapd.rand
         exit 1
}
