Hi,

specifying RANDFILE in openssl.conf within a section as per 
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/ca.html does not work. Instead, the randfile 
is created in the directory pointed to by the environment variable HOME.

Only when I move the RANDFILE directive in front of the first section in 
openssl.conf, ie. as the very first statement, the directive is respected.

If this is expected behaviour, the documentation should be fixed. Otherwise, 
this looks like a bug.

My environment is openssl v0.9.8k on cygwin.

Thanks,
Patrick Eisenacher
