What is the "fake" identd that you're referring to? I have no instances of identd running when issuing ps -auwx | grep ident >> Beyond that, I had a problem with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh.

I tried to do that, but openssl apparently requires a minimum of 4 characters for the passphrase, so null didn't work. There IS however a portion of the mod_ssl faq which talks about removing the passphrase, and leaving the key as plain text. Not the safest thing to do, but I'm toying with the idea....
