Java Keytool Assistance

[Adrian Portsmouth]

Dear Panagiotis,

Thank you for your reply which of course worked a treat, I could have sworn
I attempted that but I have a feeling I didn't use the path, just cd'd into
the directory and tried the command alone. But it worked as you presented
and I am now off and rolling again.

Much Appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Adrian

Try /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/keytool or 
/usr/local/jdk1.3.1/jre/bin/keytool instead. Keytool is a binary program 
not a class file.
