=============
Thanks very much for that most helpful answer. I started to look at
what you mentioned, and am getting to the point that I know what I
need to look for in the docs, and I'm also starting to know where to
find it. :)
Also, last night I looked back through the past few months of this
mailing list, and I found a link to this tutorial (
http://pki-tutorial.readthedocs.org/en/latest/ ) that has been
helpful to me.
Thanks again for your reply.
Mike.
