Hy!

I have written a little patch which adds a '-nocheck' option to the ca
modus which prevents the verification of the CSR's signature upon
certificate creation.

Why is this usable: I am working with smartcards which are certified
against the german signature-law and therefore have certain restriction on
their usage. Especially I (=Trustcenter) am not allowed to use the private
key on the card before I hand it to the customer, and therefore also am
not allowed to sign a CSR. But since the card never leaves our hands, we
are satisfied to sign a CSR with only a dummy signature (but the correct
public key, of course).

cheers
Mathias
