Erich and list,

I apologise to everyone, I discovered that my lighttpd certificate problem
was very long standing and caused by myself. There is no problem with the
leaf distribution. Kp and I discussed this off-list, and I never reported
the resolution of this to the list. Here's a quote from my last message to
kp:

>>
... all I had to do to fix the lighttpd certificate problem was rename
/etc/ssl/private/lighttpd.pem to something else, save, and reboot. Then all
was well, and the correct pem file got copied to two places. This is
embarrassing, but the bad lighttpd.pem file had a timestamp of  April 2
2018!!!!! Yikes! I've been getting that error message for five years!!
>>

Let me add that my (too lazy) method of updating Leaf for many years has
been to copy configdb.lrp and leaf.cfg from my previous working copy. I am
long overdue for a major configdb.lrp cleanup!
