Can you please attach the strace?

Comment 2 Tomas Mraz 2007-05-23 11:39:48 UTC

I see that this (immediate return to prompt after running the command) happens
when the CA directory hierarchy is already filled with something. Also note,
that the CA.pl script should be run with cd to the directory /etc/pki/tls/misc
as it is writing the hierarchy to ../../CA.

Comment 3 Peter DeVries 2007-05-23 12:34:26 UTC

Tomas, You are correct.  This only happens when the CA directory is full. 
Sorry, I was sure I had tested this on another system but apparently there was
an error in my testing.

Comment 4 Tomas Mraz 2007-05-23 12:52:33 UTC

The CA and CA.pl scripts would really appreciate some patch love but this should
be done upstream.
