From: Manuel Reimer on 1 Dec 2009 07:52 Hi, I didn't find the package, which contains the stuff, which belongs into the directory /etc/ssl/certs (SSL root certificates). Where may I get a current set of files? Why does Slackware leave this empty? CU Manuel

That's because Slackware doesn't provide a package containing /your/ root certificates. The job of genning those certificates is part of what you (as sysadmin of your system) are supposed to do. > Where may I get a current set of files? You don't "get" the files for ssl/certs, you /create/ the files. Use the openssl genrsa and/or gendsa options (see genrsa(1) and/or gendsa(1)) to generate your certificates. > Why does Slackware leave this empty?

Yesterday, some time after I noticed where I may find the root certificates, I also wrote a small SlackBuild, but mine just gets the certificates from mozilla.org and packages them right into /etc/ssl/certs. This worked for me. Maybe I should post this to slackbuilds.org? CU Manuel |
