----
the certificates that I generated using certutil. I never could find
evidence of them in any console. The files listed above I am certain
were generated by openssl creation of the CA certificate and using that
to sign the requests from the Server Certs portions of the
Administration and Directory Consoles - and 'installing' them in the
console...because of the time signatures.

it would appear that having the above contents of /opt/fedora-ds/alias
and the db files chmod 600 nobody:nobody as per above - that even though
I generated them ultimately with openssl and not certutil and they are
listed in both Administration and Directory consoles in both CA Certs
and Server Certs that I am good to go to next step.

Thanks
