Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openssl
when generating a new request you are prompted for
Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:
I just had a junior admin fill this in with his name, this a mistake
that could be avoided by simply getting this changed to something like
Common Name (eg, YOUR SERVER HOSTNAME) []:
The exact text could use some work, but putting something in there to
point it to the server rather than the person would be a very nice.
Would have saved me about $385 as I got the nonsense cert signed.
** Affects: openssl (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
