Argh! private key does NOT necessarily mean legacy-format encrypted. If you need encrypted PEM private key (and that remains a separate question) you can use PKCS#8 PEM private key with any width base64 up to 76. On general principles PKCS#8 is preferably to legacy anyway; it's more standard/interoperatble, more flexible, the encryption is better. ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List openssl-users@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org
