It will be random if (a) the serial file does not exist; and (b) you specify the -create_serial flag. Otherwise it opens the file, reads the number (defaulting to zero if not exists) and increments it, updates the file, and uses that as the new serial number. _______________________________________________ openssl-users mailing list To unsubscribe: https://mta.openssl.org/mailman/listinfo/openssl-users
