I run an imap server, which requires me to create a new ssl certificate,
every few weeks. Is there any way to set it for a longer life? Or is
there a method of passing the parameters to openssl for creating the
certificate, so that I don't have to re-enter the info? Currently, I use
the command "openssl req -new -x509 -nodes -out imapd.pem -keyout
imapd.pem" to generate the certificate, but I still have to manually enter
all the info.

tnx jk
