The instructions on how to create a self-signed certificate in s 18.9.3
of the docs seem unduly cumbersome. AFAICT we could replace all the
commands (except the chmod) with something like this:

|openssl req -new-x509 -days 365-nodes \ -text -outserver.crt\
-keyout server.key\ -subj "/C=XY/CN=yourdomain.name"|

Is there any reason for sticking with the current instructions?

cheers
