CA.all problem

[Mack Ragan <ragan_davis@colstate.edu>]

Hi,

Using the provided script "CA.all", trying to create self-signed certs 
on a new freeradius box and running into a missing serial file problem.  
Executing the commands in the script line-by-line shows that the command 
"openssl ca  -policy policy_anything  -out newcert.pem -passin 
pass:whatever -key whatever -extensions xpserver_ext -extfile 
xpextensions -infiles newreq.pem" is what is looking for the file 
"./demoCA/serial" which does not exist.  I think it is normally created 
during "CA.pl -newca" but this doesn't appear to happen with the 
script's command of "echo "newreq.pem" | /usr/local/ssl/misc/CA.pl 
-newca".  I'm using OpenSSL version 0.9.8e.  Anyone have this experience?

Thanks!
