Thanks a lot for your reply. But I'm an absolute newbie with openssl and
couldn't exactly make out how to use your CA patch. Seems I need to replace the
.c file and complie the entire thing..but I'm using 0.9.5a zip supplied by
someone. This has no C files !! Only openssl.exe, libeay32.dll and ssleay32.dll
with the serial file. textdb file and crl.pem.

Therefore, what I'm using is practically a ready-made CA and I'm not able to
locate any C files !!

I'll download 0.9.6 and go thru it...

Could u provide some more help, tips..?

Thank You

Shobhit Khanna

Thera are 2 ways.

     1) Write a script that sets up tha correct values
        and than pass them to the command line

     2) Patch tha ca command

I've chosen the last one.

I sent the patch on this list some weeks ago. Search for "Useful CA
patch"
subject in the archive.
