Dear sirs, There are a bug in Certificate Request generation, that was introduced in OpenSSL-0.9.8h. In previous version of OpenSSL, i.e. 0.9.8g, this problem wasn't verified. I verified this problem in Linux Slackware 12.0 and 12.1, but compiling OpenSSL-0.9.8h in non-Slackware Linux I catch the same problem.
I found other people that catch this same problem: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg53601.html Thanks in advance, -- Respectfully, Rafael Jorge Csura Szendrodi Network Administrator - PADS/COPPE/UFRJ E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------- Bug Output Begins -------------------------------- heres: szendro:~/temp3:[1126]> /usr/local/ssl/bin/openssl req -new -keyout newreq.pem -out newreq.pem -days 3650 -passin pass:xxxx -passout pass:xxxx Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key .......++++++ ....................................++++++ writing new private key to 'newreq.pem' ----- You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated into your certificate request.
