In the excellent tutorial "Installing a LAMP System with Fedora Core 6" by falko, in step 10 (install and setup Postfix and Dovecot) I ran into a problem and could use some help. At the point when I enter the following command, it asks for me to enter a pass phrase for validation. Falko didn't mention anything about needing a pass phrase. What do I need to do now? Here's the command and the subsequent request: [root@web ssl]# openssl genrsa -des3 -rand /etc/hosts -out smtpd.key 1024 231 semi-random bytes loaded Generating RSA private key, 1024 bit long modulus ......................................++++++ ....++++++ e is 65537 (0x10001) Enter pass phrase for smtpd.key: Verifying - Enter pass phrase for smtpd.key: Verify failure User interface error 4065:error:0906906FEM routinesEM_ASN1_write_bio:read keyem_lib.c:331: ----- I thought it might be wanting me to make up a new pass phrase, so I entered an random combination of 10 letters and number, but verification failed. Any help is appreciated. railer
Issue Resolved: Postfix install pass phrase and confirm Hah! Sorry, this was so dumb! I was just supposed to choose a pass phrase and then enter it again to confirm it. Got confused thinking the first request to verify had failed and thought I needed some other pass phrase -- need more sleep!
