Hi Chris: Although it sounds a bit overkill for what you are looking for, as part of our "CertiPath Test CA using OpenSSL" Howto, a goodly portion of the various settings and possible configurations of the parameters are explained, and scripts are also provided for generation of a number of different kinds of certificates.
It can be found at: http://www.carillon.ca/library/openssl_testca_howto_1.3.pdf Have fun. Patrick.
