Hi, 

I am using openssl-0.9.7-pre1 to create a mutilevel CA including the
appropritate CRLs, e.g. root CA --> level 1 CA (here: level 1 CA 1) --> user certs. 
I want to create a revocation list for level 1 CAs (signed by the root CA)
and a revocation list for user certs (signed by level 1 CA 1). I am using the
following comands:
GENERATING a CRL for level 1 CAs, which I name ARL (authority revocation
list)
openssl ca -config crl_l1_user.config -gencrl -out arl.pem (using root key
to sign)

GENERATING a CRL for user certs
openssl ca -config crl_user.config -gencrl -out crl.pem (using level 1 CA 1
key to sign)

Verification: 
openssl crl -in arl.pem -issuer 
openssl crl -in crl.pem -issuer

Now comes the surprising result, that the issuer in both cases is the root
CA, even if I signed the ARL with the root key and the CRL with the level 1 CA
1 key! 

I would be really thankful, if anybody can help!

Volker
