 I am trying to set up a Fedora Core 6 computer as a FreeRadius Server.
It is currently running, and authenticating via mac address. I also want
to set the same computer up as a CA using openssl. When I run the CA
script, I get the following output:


CA certificate filename (or enter to create)

Making CA certificate ...

writing new private key to './CAtop/private/./cakey.pem'

It seems to run finde until that last error. Any ideas?
