In the past I have created my certificates as follows:
/etc/pki/tls/misc/CA -newca

openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout newreq.pem -out newreq.pem

/etc/pki/tls/misc/CA -sign

The /etc/pki/tls/misc/CA script has a -newreq option. $REQ -new -keyout
newkey.pem -out newreq.pem $DAYS.

This appears to put the key and the certificate in different files. The
command I use appears to put the key and the certificate in a single file.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each approach?
