My cert expired so I'm trying to renew. Because the Organizational Unit =
field is now required, I'm trying to recreate a new CSR from my existing =
key:

# openssl req -new -key www.xyz.com.key -out www.xyz.com.csr
unknown option -new
req [options] outfile
where options are
......... etc..
-new new request.
......... etc.


I'm running FC6 with latest openssl-0.9.8b-15.fc6. I'm totally =
perplexed as to why -new is an unknown option. Any ideas?

Thanks, =20

Hi Eric,

perhaps the "-" has not the required ascii code. Did you copy that
command from a website? Some fellows use long minus signs for better
readability, so give it another try by typing the command line by hand.

I found it does this if it cannot find openssl.cnf. You can tell it where
the file is via the -config switch.
