Seems to me I saw an option to set the serial number from the command line appear in openssl req but it might be recently added (e.g., check to see if the version you are using is too old to have it implemented!). I've been doing the write-even- number-of-hex-digits-to-file since I started, so I guess it could be that -set_serial n was recently added, or recently documented (:-), or that I just missed it first time around.
See if -set_serial n works.

Is there a way to "force" a serial number on a created certificate? I have written an automated job that creates a signing certificate every 7 days but for some reason the serial numbers in the certificates is always 0. Any thoughts?
