That doesn't matter. The CSR doesn't specify the lifetime.

-infiles causes all subsequent arguments to be treated as 
input files, and not checked for options. If you proceed(ed) 
you should get (have gotten) an error for "no such file -days".

Either put -days N before -infiles, or use -in instead of -infiles.
Or use default_days in config *for ca* instead of commandline.
