When I attempted to create the key, I was NEVER prompted for a CN or
any other information at all other than what I supplied on the command line.
With that in mind, I thought that the CN was being pulled from another file
somewhere. I hope that clears that up =)
More than likely user-error, back to RTFM again =)
Sidenote...
If I become my own CA, can I assign certs to individual (ip based) virtual
domains that I host using OpenSA Apache (or any other Apache for that matter).
Basically, I want to establish me as a small CA, by letting the domains that I
host have their own server cert. It's not the best practise, but effective.
