I do not know how to line wrap properly..
Please let me know if there is a way to do that.
I am attaching the key.b64 file which I want to convert into
a RSA_PRIVATE_KEY pem file after the series of steps u mentioned.
ie.
openssl base64 -d -A -in key.b64 -out key.bin
openssl pkcs8 -in key.bin -inform DER -nocrypt
Thanks a lot again..This is really urgent for me.

Could be a problem with the OpenSSL base64 decoder. The alternative is
to line wrap the base64 encoded data and try the decode command without
the -A option.
Can you send me a sample of a file that wont decode?
Steve.
