This is going to be on Red Hat 6.2 (well... VA Linux 6.2.4). We already
have the certificate from versign.
Thanks for the tip. I did this a different way about 6 months ago, and then
discovered that I was inadvertently using RSA, so it wasn't legal for me to
use it in Production (at least in America...).
I'll see if I can find the source and install from there. If not, I'll try
the rpm.
