"nodes"? Hmmm... at least for SSLeay 0.9 and 0.8 there is both no "nodes"
option for "ssleay rsa" and it works as I documented it:
| rse@en1:/tmp/apache/etc/ssl.key
| :> ssleay rsa -h
| unknown option -h
| rsa [options] <infile >outfile
| where options are
| -inform arg input format - one of DER NET PEM
| -outform arg output format - one of DER NET PEM
| -in arg inout file
| -out arg output file
| -des encrypt PEM output with cbc des
| -des3 encrypt PEM output with ede cbc des using 168 bit key
| -idea encrypt PEM output with cbc idea
| -text print the key in text
| -noout don't print key out
| -modulus print the RSA key modulus
| rse@en1:/tmp/apache/etc/ssl.key
| :> ssleay rsa -in server.key -out server.key.x
| read RSA private key
| Enter PEM pass phrase:
| writing RSA private key
| rse@en1:/tmp/apache/etc/ssl.key
| :>
Are you using an even older version of SSLeay?
