No, we'll never drop support for -days. But whether the code is atoi() or atof() is a big difference and might cause important silent failures for new scripts running on anything other than the most recent openssl. On most systems atoi("0.5") returns 0 and no error indicator so "-days 0.5" would silently do the wrong thing on anything other than openssl 1.0.whatever Which seems much worse. /r$ -- Principal Security Engineer Akamai Technologies, Cambridge, MA IM: rs...@jabber.me; Twitter: RichSalz :��I"Ϯ��r�m���� (����Z+�7�zZ)���1���x��h����W^��^��%�� ��&jם.+-1�ځ��j:+v�������h�
