You are about to be asked to enter information that will be
incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or
a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

OK so that seems to work. Maybe its just when x509 does it.

Can you try:
openssl req -new -nodes -out req.pem -rand /tmp/somefile

$ ./openssl req -new -nodes -out req.pem -rand /tmp/somefile

Please enter the following 'extra' attributes

A challenge password []:

then
openssl x509 -req -in req.pem -out sscert.pem -signkey privkey.pem

$ ./openssl x509 -req -in req.pem -out sscert.pem -signkey privkey.pem

Signature ok

core dumping
Bus error (core dumped)


if that second command dumps core then a stack trace under a debugger
would help a lot.

will have to wait a bit.  i've never done that before and it's hiding the #$%!
core file.  i'll forward another email when i have one for you.
