Re: openSSL Key generation

To answer my own question if only in part, I found another part of the manual that clarified this.

The command would be . . .

[root@base04 root]# /usr/bin/openssl genrsa -des 1024 > /tmp/server.key Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus

................................................++++++

Seems like their is an equivilant DSA key generation command gendsa. I the doc I was looking at was out of date with an old command line argument format.
