It's needed for pretty much everything that uses SSL. For example, SSH. Apache over SSL (HTTPS), SMTP, and POP3 can use it.

If you are wondering if you should remove it, the answer is most likely no :)

anyone know of a howto out there that guides you through installing/configuring ssl certificates and getting them to work with apache? i've installed openssl but i'm not sure if thats the only package i need installed... maybe configure apache with mod_ssl? Thanks.
