Hi,
   I'm trying to figure out how to add x509v3 extensions
using the openssl x509 utility.  The man page mentions
that the -extfile can be used to specify extensions to
be used by a certificate.  Looking at the code, it looks
like it parses this as a normal conf file, looking in
the "extensions" subsection.  I couldnt find information
about what settings should go in this section in either
the x509 or the config man pages.  I would like to
know how to mark a certificate as being an x509v3
CA.  I would also like to know if it is possible to
add extensions such as:

        X509v3 extensions:
            X509v3 Subject Alternative Name: critical
                IP Address:1.2.3.4

without writing custom code.

                                      Tim N.
