I've had success using the CA.sh script (as opposed to the CA.pl version); from my
notes:
- modify the config file (.cnf)
- may need to change CA.sh to use config file if it's not the default name
- misc/CA.sh -newca
- <enter> - to create new CA cert
- type in passphrase
- enter the directory DN attr values (specified in the .cnf file)
