[Cialug] SSL Passphrase + apache

Is there any advantage to having a SSL passphrase?  I can't think of 
one, and I've found the disadvantage (on Debian, at least) that on 
reboot, apache will wait (>2 days) for the passphrase, and not complete 
the init on other processes.  On this particular server, I could ssh, 
and it would authenticate, but then show a message that "the init 
process has not completed" then exit.
