I've found the /etc/pki directory, but can't find much information about it. I reviewed the openssl.cnf file, and it looks like it's not completely set up, as many directories it references do not exist on the system.

A good place to start is /etc/pki/tls/certs/Makefile.

I've just started using CentOS5, migrating from Fedora, so I'm not yet up to speed on the relocation of OpenSSL from /usr/share/openssl to /etc/pki/tls, but that Makefile is mostly what I used to create self-signed certs, or I used variations of the commands it suggested.
