Do you have the authority to create new directories and files in that
directory?  If not, that might be the problem.  I've seen permission
problems result in rather odd symptoms before.

Also, why are you compiling OpenSSL from source?  Novell won't support
that.  If you didn't look at the original .spec file, you may have
compiled it with different options than other packages are expecting.
Even if you did, there may be subtle differences that cause unwelcome
interaction effects with other packages.  All in all, rather dangerous
on what is supposed to be an enterprise system.

Subject: SSL on Enterprise SuSe Linux 9 on a zVM IFL


We compiled Apache 2.0.54 on SLES9 running on zOS / s390 (zVM) LPAR. We
are also running OpenSSL 0.9.7g compiled from source.  When generating
test SSL certificates via the "./CA.sh -newca" command from within the
Openssl directory, the following error is received:

./CA.sh: line 132: 20933 Segmentation fault      $REQ -new -x509 -keyout
${CATOP}/private/$CAKEY -out ${CATOP}/$CACERT $DAYS

The certificate generation stops; no cert / key having been created.

Are we doing this incorrectly?
