Yes, it's easy and recommended.  Check out http://www.webmin.com/ssl.html
for instructions on how to set it up.

I found that I get an error when 'make test' is run for Net::SSLeay (an
'out-of-memory error' for a server test) but it seems this error can be
ignored.  Install from the command line as root with "perl -MCPAN -e shell",
then "force install Net::SSLeay".

Good luck!

ps.  In the future it's best to start a new thread (with a new
subject) when asking a new question.  Among other things, it helps when
people are searching the list archives for answers.
