This usually indicates the OpenSSL conf file cannot be found. Its odd
that "Using configuration from /home/sec/newCA/openssl.cnf" is
reported.

Maybe you can try `OPENSSL_CONF=/home/sec/newCA/openssl.cnf <command>`
to isolate the issue (or maybe rule out its not a conf file problem).

The message above doesn't indicate that openssl.cnf can't be found. In fact it explcitly states that it IS found and IS using it

It's the same openssl.cnf used in all the PRIOR steps, with not problem whatsoever.

Rather it's

>> Can't open root/database.attr for reading, No such file or directory

that's not found.

I've found that if I simply

        touch root/database.attr
        touch intermediate/database.attr

as already's been done with

        touch root/database
        touch intermediate/database
