Not sure if this is an OpenSSL bug.

When making a key and certificate:

  When going through the dos request and coming to this:

You are about be asked to enter that will be incorporated into your certificate 
request.
What are enter is what is called a Distinguished Name or a DN.
There are quite a few fields but you can leave some blank
For some fields there will be a default ualue.
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Country Name <2 letter code> [AU]:
...

  Her I have entered the suggested '.' for everything.  When I do this, I only 
get the

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----


  If I just hit enter without entering the '.', I get both the

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
...
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

and the

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Thanks.
