The parameters in the configuration file, in general, apply only to certificate 
operations. The openssl application does way more than certificate operations, 
and seeing a warning for a configuration file that has no impact on the 
operation being performed is annoying. Rather than completely remove the 
warning, I would instead suggest that the warning only be issued for certain 
commands that may use parameters from the configuration file.

If I want and expect openssl to use a config file, and it did not find it - 
it's darn useful for me to be informed of that fact by openssl.

Subject: [openssl-dev] [openssl.org<http://openssl.org> #3876] [PATCH] Do not 
complain if config file not found

Because it goes ahead and proceeds. Not it is explicit testing ENOTFOUND.
It should either error+exit or not complain.

I can be convinced the current behavior is useful.
