when I run this command, why does the private key file say that it is a RSA
private key? This is the command that I am using.
openssl req -inform DER -outform DER -out marktest.cert -keyout marktest
-newkey dsa:deleteme.param -keyform DER -new -x509 -nodes
The file deleteme.param is a DSA parameter file, here is the file
deteleme.param:

What am I doing wrong?
Also, if I write a DSA private with DER encoding to a file, what function
should I be using to read the private key back in to my program? I have
tried d2i_PrivateKey_bio and that does not seem to work with the private key
marktest above.
thanks for your help.
