I tried that first and could not get it to work. How would you edit CA.sh
to create a newca. I added the -rand as below and I still get the error.
echo "Making CA certificate ..."
$REQ -new -x509 -keyout ${CATOP}/private/$CAKEY \
-rand /var/run/egd-pool -out ${CATOP}/$CACERT $DAYS
RET=$?

Is there a read-only cvs with this version that I could try?
