File packaging/bin/pki-create-ca.sh:

Line 51: 
Line 52:        touch "${PKIDIR}/database.txt" "${PKIDIR}/.rnd" || die "Cannot 
write to database.txt"
Line 53: 
Line 54:        touch "${PKIDIR}/private/ca.pem"
Line 55:        chmod go-rwx "${PKIDIR}/private/ca.pem" || die "Cannot set CA 
permissions"
I now checked that this isn't a security issue because private/ is 750.

I thought that to read a file you do not need permissions (neither r nor x) on 
its parent directory but now checked and I was wrong. I could not find 
documentation for this anywhere, though. Every place I checked says what I 
already know - you need 'r' on a directory to read it (ls), 'x' to cd to it, 
'w' to add or delete files in it. No-one says what you need to read files in it.

Still better to do go-rwx . Not sure how I did not notice this so far...
Line 56:        openssl genrsa \
Line 57:                -out "${PKIDIR}/private/ca.pem" \
Line 58:                2048 \
Line 59:                || die "Cannot generate CA key"
