Here's a quick primer on how to get use DRb over SSL with QuickCert.

1. Modify qc_config to suit.  The host I'm writing this on is named 'uriel',
   and my email address is '[e-mail]', so I filled in the proper
   entries in the server and client certs.

     full_hostname = `hostname`.strip
     domainname = full_hostname.split('.')[1..-1].join('.')
     hostname = full_hostname.split('.')[0]
     
     CA[:hostname] = hostname
     CA[:domainname] = domainname
     CA[:CA_dir] = File.join Dir.pwd, "CA"
     CA[:password] = '1234'
     
     CERTS << {
       :type => 'server',
       :hostname => 'uriel',
       :password => '5678',
     }
     
     CERTS << {
       :type => 'client',
       :user => 'drbrain',
       :email => '[e-mail]',
     }

2. Generate the certificates

     quick_cert

3. Setup the DRb server to use the proper certificates.  They are already
   setup for 'uriel', so you'll have to edit drbssl_s.rb to match your
   configuration.

     cd uriel
     ln -s ../drbssl_s.rb
     ln -s ../CA/cacert.pem
     vi drbssl_s.rb

4. Start the DRb server.  You'll need the server certificate's passphrase.

     ruby drbssl_s.rb

5. Setup the DRb client to use the proper certificates.  They are already
   setup for '[e-mail]', so you'll have to edit drbssl_c.rb to
   match your configuration.

     cd drbrain
     ln -s ../drbssl_c.rb
     ln -s ../CA/cacert.pem
     vi drbssl_c.rb

6. Start the DRb client.  Then type your name and hit enter.  You will get
   back a message "Hello, <your name>"

     ./drbssl_c.rb
