Ken,
Many thanks for the tutorial! Very great help.  Last year I had Gerald 
offer some good help and found this link:
http://fsn.raqware.com/SSL/bundled-certs
I had trouble with that last year and only had success by using GUI to 
generate the request.

I do still  have a bit of confusion though. This site, 
webmail.nomealaska.org, is a vhost of the server svr2.nomecity.org which 
are sharing a single IP address. I'm wanting this mainly for webmail 
users, so it will be for the webmail.nomealaska.org site. So I think I 
want to install the certs in /home/.sites/xxx/siteX/certs . Hopefully 
this will give users an https for checking webmail. (I see your 
instructions are for /etc/admsrv/).

Hopefully users outside our LAN will be able to log in via 
webmail.nomealaska.org/login to change various settings only available 
there like vacation settins, though maybe it isn't that important - 
something they should do in the LAN.

I am about ready to give this a try - thanks again,
JD
