there is a file 'index.txt.attr' that contains this:
"unique_subject = yes" I changed it to: "unique_subject = no" and it worked fine later...but I'm a newbe...there were another kind of messages but they seemed to be warnings...like this: "unable to rename ./demoCA/serial to ./demoCA/serial.old" "reason: File exists" by the way, I'm in a Win/XP (sorry for this...) ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
