Hi Simon, Thanks for the reply.
Apologies for the confusion, I renamed .pem to .key in the middle of the
process for my own clarification. the Certificate file does look like
that, except it is much longer, atleast twice as long. it starts with
the BEGIN line and ends with the END line.
The .key file also begins with the BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY and ends with
the right line.
when I run certtool -k < newserver_co_uk.key the beginning starts with
Public Key Info:
Public Key Algorithm: RSA
when I run certool -i < newerver_co_uk.crt It begins with the following
output
X.509 Certificate Information:
Version: 3
Serial Number (hex): 78712b9b85f057731ea88fb1b9527153
Issuer: C=US,ST=UT,L=Salt Lake City,O=The USERTRUST
Network,OU=http://www.usertrust.com,CN=UTN-USERFirst-Hardware

Not After: Sat May 9 23:59:59 UTC 2009
Subject Public Key Algorithm: RSA
*NOTE* I have removed the Subject: line from this mail.
Best regards,
Mark
