Certwatch errors resolved

I have been getting daily errors from certwatch, and I’ve just been ignoring them.  Today I decided not to, any more.

 

################# SSL Certificate Warning ################

Certificate for hostname ‘webhost.robpatton.com’, in file (or by nickname):
/etc/pki/tls/certs/localhost.crt

The certificate needs to be renewed; this can be done
using the ‘genkey’ program.

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

##########################################################
Generated by certwatch(1)

 

 

So my fix was this:

cd /etc/pki/tls/certs/
rm localhost.crt
make localhost.crt
mv localhost.key ../private/localhost.key
cd ../private/
cp localhost.key localhost.key.orig
openssl rsa -in localhost.key.orig -out localhost.key

I'm kind of a big deal.
