This was fixed in 0.9.8. You need to put "unique_subject = no" in the ca section of your configuration file and it will let you have more than one certificate for the same DN, i.e. a new one when your old one expires. (Search for "subject" in the changelog.)
I suggest that this line is added to the default configuration file. Phil. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
