How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

Virtual Hosts on nginx (CSC309)

When hosting our web applications, we often have one public IP address (i.e., an IP address visible to the outside world) using which we want to host multiple web apps. For example, one may wants to host three different web apps respectively for example1.com, example2.com, and example1.com/images on the same machine using a single IP address.

How can we do that? Well, the good news is Internet browsers

To limit a CPU to a certain C-state, you can pass the processor.max_cstate=X option in the kernel line of /boot/grub/grub.conf.

Here we limit the system to only C-State 1:

    kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-371.1.2.el5 ... processor.max_cstate=1

On some systems, the kernel can override the BIOS setting, and the parameter intel_idle.max_cstate=0 may be required to ensure sleep states are not entered:

rsync daemon mode over ssh

There are several common ways to do rsync backups of hosts over ssh:

1. As a non-root user. Upsides: very secure. Downside: cannot back up sensitive files.
2. As root, with a public key. Downsides: Whoever has the private key has full root access to the host being backed up.
3. As root, with a public key and a "forced command". Upsides: Restricts access to the server. Downsides: Requires either careful matching of rsync options (which might change over time), or "validator" scripts. Neither idea sounds very appealing to me.
4. Running rsync in daemon mode on the host being backed up. Upsides: Lots of useful options, like read-only mode, running as a different user if required, server-side excludes/includes, etc. Downsides: Opens up a TCP port that has full filesystem read access and is hard to secure (Ideally you could make the rsync daemon use a unix socket instead, that could be secured by filesystem permissions, but I haven't found a way to do that).

Here is another option t
