<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
make-ssl-cert is a simple debconf to openssl wrapper to create self-signed
certificates.
It requires a source template (Ex: /usr/share/ssl-cert/ssleay.cnf)
and it will place the new generated certificate in the specified
output file.
<BR>
Invoked with &quot;generate-default-snakeoil&quot;, it will generate
/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem and /etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key.
