Thanks Robert,
it's working now.
I removed all the openCA and openssl modules with yast
and also did a search for openca and OpenCA files and removed all of them!
I then re-installed OpenCA from scratch.
The only problem I had is that I had to manually chmod 777 on the tmp and 
crypto directory, as it was complaining that it couldn't access files in 
there.
Many thanks for your help
Oleg

Hi Oleg,

I got my CA working, but only by reinstalling it. I don=92t know what
exactly the problem was but here is what I know:

I added several log entries to the crypto-utils.lib to trace the issuing
process. What I found was that when the CA tried to compare the enddate
of the certificate to be issues with the CA's root cert it got stuck.
That was cause by the cryptoshell which returned nothing when asked for
the enddate of the root cert.
The perl interpreter got stuck when trying to reformat the given
enddate. It didn't cause any error and nothing was logged anywhere
(including the apache error logs), perl just got stuck.
When I looked for the openssl perl lib I found 2 of them. I don=92t know
exactly where the other perl lib came from. Maybe a leftover from the
snapshot isntallation I had before or, more likely, it was the lib from
the openCA-perl packages which are part of suse 8.2. don=92t know why my
ca always used the wrong one.
Anyway, I removed the suse packages and also removed all openCA files
and reinstalled it (since I didn=92t clean after installing I just had =
to
do make install-ca again) and now it works fine.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,
Robert
