It does make sense. If you look up the other reference to it in apps/ca.c, you'll see that it gets called with data coming from the configuration file. The configuration might be coded in EBCDIC. Changing this might become a larger can of worms than I think I'm willing to put in right now. We really need to design a better way to handle this, so we are absolutely certain we know what we have at all times. Right now, I can't say I'm sure what's what... -- Richard Levitte ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
