I have been attempting to get open vpn working on my freebsd 4.11 Alpha 
machine. SO Far I have done the following..

I did the make install  for /usr/ports/security/openvpn/

Where is uses SSL Im trying to understand the config file for 
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf After an attempted figure  change I try to generate 
the keys..

I  create a master certificate authority certificate/private-key

*openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout shawng-ca.key -out shawng-ca.crt 
-days 3650*

Then create certificate/private-key pairs for both Home and Office:

*openssl req -nodes -new -keyout office.key -out office.csr

*

Then this gives me a hard time..

*openssl ca -out office.crt -in office.csr

*

# openssl ca -out office.crt -in office.csr
--> /This screams config file to me --> /Using configuration from 
/etc/ssl/openssl.cnf
