[prakash babu]

Hello all,                   In  0.9.7d  the serial number file is created as follows 1. Create a certificate request                                                                                                                                                                         openssl req -out ksb_cert_req.pem -new -keyout ksb_priv_key.pem -rand rand_file -subj /C=US/ST=xxx/L=xxx/O=xxx/CN=ca -nodes 2. Create a self signed  certificate                                                                                                                                                                 openssl req -x509 -out ca_cert.pem -new -keyout ca_priv_key.pem -subj /C=US/ST=xxx/L=xxx/O=xxx/CN=req -nodes -passout pass:pass 3. Sign the certificate request using the  self signed certificate openssl x509 -req -passin pass:pass -in ksb_cert_req.pem -CA ca_cert.pem -CAkey ca_priv_key.pem -CAcreateserial -out ksb_cert.pem -days 365 It creates the serial file ca_cert.srl  But in 0.9.7e this  serial file is not created .
