You could read about the PKI in the following book.

You will find the following command in that book.

What is the problem? Do I have to install software? If so what?
The following is my path.
[root@c83-250-99-43 Nissanka]# $PATH
bash: /usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/Nissanka/bin: No such file or directory
