Hello,

I am configuring a remote x86 Centos 4.3 box (running in UML) as
personal web and email server. Openssl version is openssl-0.9.7a-43.8.
I want it to be able to serve https pages and to securely
forward/email to and from my home computer.

Therefore, I have generated a certificate following, on the server,
the procedure at
http://wanderingbarque.com/howtos/mailserver/mailserver.html, but it
is unusable. When I try to download email with fetchmail I get errors
and, if I run on the server "openssl -verify -issuer_checks...."  I
get:

error 30 at 0 depth lookup:authority and subject key identifier mismatch
 
which, as far as I understand, seems to be caused by screwed settings of
subjectKeyIdentifier and authorityKeyIdentifier in openssl.conf. But I
have not changed them from the default:
 
######################################################################
~/geecheck/usr/share/ssl> grep -i keyidentifier openssl.cnf
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid,issuer:always
subjectKeyIdentifier=hash
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always
# Only issuerAltName and authorityKeyIdentifier make any sense in a CRL.
authorityKeyIdentifier=keyid:always,issuer:always
########################################################################

What is happening? Should I change those settings? If yes, to which
values?

Another weird thing, don't know if related to this or not. When I
generate the fingerprint on the server and on my home PC (Suse 10.1
x86_64) I get different results. What does it mean?

Please let me know what other info I should provide, this is really
blocking me :-(

        TIA,
        Marco
