Okay, while trying to setup mod_ssl at 06:00 at night...

I found this command via google and it looks sane:
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key server.key -out server.crt

I used the previous command in how-to and succesfully created a key however, I 
get strange errors when trying the previoud command.  Errors are attached do 
to word-wrapping.
