Comment 5 for bug 489819

I think there is either a bug in the docs or in one of the scripts/tools used in the guide.

I got up to the section "Enter the following to create the server certificates:". After running the command "./pkitool --initca", it generated the following output with the last line being continuously repeated. I had to hit ^C (CTRL-C) to exit the script and return to the bash prompt (after waiting for ~2 mins for the script to stop scrolling the last line). I repeated the commands "./clean-all", "./build-dh", and "./pkitool --initca" multiple times with the same result (except that the amout of . and + characters printed from the pkitool output changed every time).

$ ./pkitool --initca
