Isn't http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html enough? There's a small blurb about distinguished_name ending by saying that the section it refers to is explained in the next section of that manual. That section is basically right below said blurb. Generally, look at the manual for each command, and you will hopefully find what you're looking for. If you find the manuals incomplete, please tell us in detail what's missing or should be changed, and we'll do our best to correct it. Note: the manuals on the web are for the development, so some things do not yet exist in the latest OpenSSL releases. I don't think that's the case for req, however... -- Richard Levitte \ Spannvägen 38, II \ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Redakteur@Stacken \ S-168 35 BROMMA \ T: +46-8-26 52 47 \ SWEDEN \ or +46-708-26 53 44 Procurator Odiosus Ex Infernis -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Member of the OpenSSL development team: http://www.openssl.org/ Unsolicited commercial email is subject to an archival fee of $400.
