Re: Just curious about Mod_SSL and Apache.

You try?: /usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl startssl < echo "password" Doubt it will work, but it's worth a try. The other option is ofcourse, not encrypting your private key, kind of a trade off, do you want to ahve to be there when the server boots, or do you want to have to worry about security with an unencrypted private key.
