This book has been tremendously helpful in wading through the enormity of OpenSSL. However, it cannot be stressed enough that chapter 5 is useless without downloading the examples from the www.oreilly.com site. In particular, the commands in the sidebar on pages 124-125 contain references to a .cnf file that is not available (anywhere, as far as I can tell). I suspect this is why there is a dramatic difference in opinions as to the usability of the examples -- one reviewer was trying to do this by hand; the other simply downloaded, tweaked, built and ran. I personally like to type the code in by hand, so I found this problem, and the lack of helpful information in the errata pages, very annoying.
