Thanks, I see the point, but I don't really experienced in generating
certs. The lines you wrote lead me to the following:
root@server# openssl req -nodes -new -x509 -keyout newreq.pem -out
newreq.pem -days 365
Generating a 1024 bit RSA private key
.........++++++
..........................++++++
writing new private key to 'newreq.pem'

You are about to be asked to enter information that will be incorporated
into your certificate request.
What you are about to 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 value,
If you enter '.', the field will be left blank.

Country Name (2 letter code) [AU]:HU
State or Province Name (full name) [Some-State]:Budapest
Locality Name (eg, city) []:Budapest

Could you tell me what's wrong?
