Hi,

one silly question: if I generate a request with

openssl req -new -keyout mykey.pem -out myreq.pem 265

the private key in mykey.pem is encrypted or not?

The questions arises because I have the need of encrypt VNC traffic between a remote 
and virtually unreachable server and a client using stunnel, and docs say private key 
must not be encrypted and certificate must be created with the -nodes option, because 
if there is a password stunnel needs somebody to type it in.

All correct but how can apache (for instance) use certificated generated with the 
command line above and signed with:

openssl ca -policy policy_anything -out mycertonly.pem -infiles myreq.pem

without asking a password?

TIA

Andrea
