I'd say that the version of CA.pl you are using is newer than the version of OpenSSL it calls. The -create_serial option was first added to OpenSSL 0.9.8 so if OpenSSL 0.9.7 or earlier precedes it on your PATH that will cause that error. Do a: openssl version and fix the PATH so you get 0.9.8d. Steve. -- Dr Stephen N. Henson. Email, S/MIME and PGP keys: see homepage OpenSSL project core developer and freelance consultant.
