+
+The three directories each contain a complete CA with server signing
+certificate, OCSP signing certificate and a selection of server
+certificates under each domain.
+
+For each directory there are a number of subdirectories.
+
+ CA - The main certificate signing directory.
+
+ Within this directory the primary file sof interest
+ will be the two CRL files, crl.empty and crl.v2
+ These are valid CRLs; the "v2" containing the two
+ revoked certs.
+
+ BLANK - a template usable for client-only machines
+ for clients of this private CA.
+
+ *.example.* - individual server certificates.
+
+The six certificate subdirs each contain a cert for a machine
+by that name; those in the "expired" ones are out-of-date (the
+rest expire in 2038). The "1" and "2" systems/certs have
+equivalent properties.
+
+In each certicate subdir: the ".db" files are NSS version of the cert,
+the ".pem", ".key" and ".unlocked.key" are usable by OpenSSL (the
+ca_chain.pem being a copy of the CA public information and signer
+public information).
+
+The ".p12" file rolls up the CA, Signer and cert info. Both the ".p12"
+and NSS info are passworded using the "pwdfile".
+The ocsp request file is one a client would send to an OCSP responder.
+The ocsp response files are those gotten that way. in .der format;
+"good" being all well, "dated" meaning the response (not the cert)
+is out-of-date, and "revoked" meaning the cert has been revoked.
+
+
+The files were created using the genall script which utilises a
+combination of tools,
+
+ openssl
+ nss-tools
+ clica
+
+of these the only unfamiliar one is likely to be clica, a command
+line CA tool which can be found at
