Strange message in admin mail since last updates
« on: August 31, 2009, 09:32:10 AM »
Apologies if I should be posting this in bugs, but I thought I'd ask here first.

The text below came in in the admin e-mail last night.  Is this normal (or have we been hacked?)

=================text begin=========================================================
/etc/cron.daily/conf-mod_ssl:

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request. What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN. There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank For some fields there will be a default value, If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.
-----
Country Name (2 letter code) [GB]:State or Province Name (full name) [Berkshire]:Locality Name (eg, city) [Newbury]:Organization Name (eg, company) [My Company Ltd]:Organizational Unit Name (eg, section) []:Common Name (eg, your name or your server's hostname) []:Email Address []:


==============================End text=============================================

It also seems to be using UK details (and we are in Belgium.
