OpenSSL 0.9.8a 11 Oct 2005 (Library: OpenSSL 0.9.8 05 Jul 2005).

Which version are you using?

Yes.

Odd. I *did* use a different working directory than the documentation
suggests, since it was easier that way. It doesn't seem that was the
cause of the problem, though - an "attrib /s privkey.pem" reveals only
the file that I manually created.

Either way it's safe to leave the privkey.pem generate command in the
docs, obviously. But I can send a patch which notes that the step
"might not be necessary" or some such if you want?
