Well, the command line could change by parameters used. I think something like
this is valid (in general):

        $ openssl req -x509 -passin env:pwd -config <path_to_openssl.cnf> \
              -days 730 -in <path_to_request_file> -out <path_to_outcert>

remember that the env variable pwd MUST be set in order for openssl to be able
to process (pwd=<passwd_of_ca_secret_key)

The directory where the write access is needed are:

        @raserver@
        @ca@
        @pubweb@/crl

(I think this is it, but I am not sure, there could be some other places
where write access is needed)
