I had this same exact problem a few months back, and the 'best' solution I got from someone was to set up ssl without a passphrase (if you're worried about remote reboots). This isn't exactly the best solution, which is why I opted to keep the passphrase and not reboot remotely :) Also, the version I was playing around with would *not* let you put in null (carriage return) as your passphrase. Might be different now. Hope that helps, John To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
