[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#210814: openssl: CA.pl and CA.sh create certificates with a future start date

[Kurt Roeckx]

Hi,

I've been trying to reproduce this but was unable too.

Could you please explain a little more?

All the files I generated had the current time in it.  Can you check the
output of:
openssl x509 -in cert.pem -noout -text

It should show both the start and end date.

I also can't find the text you mention in the manpage.

Also, there is a -startdate and -enddate option.

Maybe they fixed this in some 0.9.7X release.  I'm only looking at
0.9.7e-3sarge1

So, it seems to me that this was fixed.
