CA.sh script – The missing link

If you following the tutorial on some self signed certificate, you may come across a step asking using CA.sh (line CA.sh –newCA). However most site missing the link for this script. Last time I install openssl also not provide this script.

Just in case you wonder where this script (and google bring you here), you can get it at http://web.mit.edu/crypto/share/openssl/misc/

There are 2 version, the batch script format (.sh) and also perl (.pl). If I remember correctly both do the job.

Hope this helps as I spent a lot of time last time searching for this “missing link” (O.o)

now some word to help google

“download CA.sh”

X Forwarding Using Cygwin

Say that we want to access the GUI of remote linux machine from local Windows XP/Vista machine, using Cygwin in local machine will make it possible. Provided Cygwin is installed with X11 module.

In Cygwin :

1) $startx (X window will appear)

In X window

1) $ssh -X user@ipname

2) $gnome-panel

Then the remote linux machine top and bottom panel will appear.

Hello world!

This will be a place where I dump few stuff as my reference later on. My mind simply can’t remember everything so some logging mechanism needed.
