    DESCRIPTION
    
      This script creates new DH parameters and saves them in
      @certsdir@/dhparams.pem. If this file already exists
      and it's less than 25 days old, the script returns immediately.
      If this file is over 25 days old, new DH parameters get generated and
      the file gets replaced.
    
    
      This script is intended to be execute when the system boots, or from
      a monthly cron job.

	    DH Parameter file.
	  
	
      
    
  
  
    ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
    
      
	BITS
	
	  
	    Customize the DH parameter bit size. The default value depends on
	    whether this script uses OpenSSL or GnuTLS libraries. For OpenSSL
	    the default number of bits is 2048. GnuTLS uses a security level
	    setting, rather than the number of bits, and the default
	    security level is "high".
	  
	
      
    
  
  
    
      It make take several minutes to generate new DH parameters with the
      default strength.
