I'm getting the messsage below every day now, I
dont use SSL and dont need it, how can i turn this off?
I'd renew it but I just know it will be a screwed up mess
that will be more trouble than its worth as can be seen by
the rather uniformative "how-to" in the mesage below.
Thanks
Eric
######################## SSL Certificate Warning ########################

The certificate for host localhost.OB5101 in the file:

/etc/ssl/apache/server.crt

generated the following warning:

The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done using the
'/usr/bin/openssl' or the '/usr/lib/ssl/apache-mod_ssl/gentestcrt.sh'
programs supplied with Mandrakelinux.

Browsers will not be able to correctly connect to this web site using SSL
until the certificate is renewed.
