SSL Certificate question.

[Richard Mcintyre]

All,

I'm usually just a lurker on this list but I ran into a small problem. I 
recently found out that the SSL certificate I created for my sendmail 
server has expired. I need to update it. I was following along with the 
suggestions at 
http://veldt.com/2003/08/smtp-auth-ssl-with-sendmail-freebsd/ but I ran 
into a problem, I was hoping I could just generate a new certificate 
with the following commands:

"next, you’ll need to generate certificates for sendmail to use.
mkdir /etc/mail/certs
cd /etc/mail/certs
mktemp /tmp/openssl.XXXXX1
mktemp /tmp/openssl.XXXXX2
PEM1='/tmp/openssl.XXXXX1'
PEM2='/tmp/openssl.XXXXX2'
openssl req -newkey rsa:1024 -keyout $PEM1 \
-nodes -x509 -days 365 -out $PEM2
cat $PEM1 > sendmail.pem
echo "" >> sendmail.pem
cat $PEM2 >> sendmail.pem
cp $PEM2 ca-bundle.crt
rm $PEM1 $PEM2
chmod 400 sendmail.pem
chmod 400 ca-bundle.crt
"


I ran into some problems around "PEM1='/tmp'openssl.XXXXX1' for some 
reason FreeBSD is now seeing this as a command, and is responding 
"PEM1=/tmp/openssl.XXXXX1: Command not found." I am certain that these 
are the commands I ran the first time (04/12/2004) to create the 
certificates, why aren't they working now?

Thanks for your help...
