Q1. Check out the documentation of the -config option  and maybe
the -reqexts option of http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/req.html# and check
out the examples at the bottom, as well as the openssl.cnf file that comes
with the distribution

Q2. Check out the Pass Phrase Argument section of
http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/openssl.html#. If your password is badpass,
then you can use openssl genrsa -des3 -out rca.key -passout pass:badpass

Q1. How do I have openssl pick up the Country, Area, etc. details from a
text file rather than from the console ? Eg, in the following:
  ./openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key rca.key -out rca.crt

Q2. How do I have openssl not request a passphrase while generating a key
pair as in:
  ./openssl genrsa -des3 -out rca.key

Regards,

Sandipan
