NAME
renew-cert.sh - renew a previously generated cert for another year
SYNOPSIS
renew-cert.sh /path/to/certificate
renew-cert.sh <hostname>
renew-cert.sh <username>
DESCRIPTION
This script renews a certificate for another 365 days from it's current
end-date. It does some interesting hackery to re-sign the certificate
request generated when the certificate was initially signed, using the
same key-pair and the same serial, so that S/MIME encrypted e-mail and
previously signed code does not become unusable.
OPTIONS
This script takes no options.
