Error after generating of RSA private key?

[tohn]

Hey,

first: thanks for this awesome software! I now use it at work and at home :)
And then I wanted to report an Error or Warning after the generation of a RSA private key:

# /opt/getssl/getssl -w /opt/getssl/conf -a
Check all certificates
example.org: no certificate obtained from host
creating account key /opt/getssl/conf/example.org/example.org.key
creating domain key - /opt/getssl/conf/example.org/example.org.key
Generating RSA private key, 4096 bit long modulus
..................++
................................................................++
e is 65537 (0x10001)
/opt/getssl/getssl: Zeile 632: -4: Teilstring-Ausdruck < 0.

Sorry for the german output ;)
I'm not sure if this is an issue, but just in case, here it is ;)

Thanks!

Many thanks for reporting - I'll look into it. (No problem with the German output :) )

Thanks - found the bug, and patched code. Just testing before uploading.

Thanks - fixed in the latest version of code.

Thanks a lot!
But unfortunately it doesn't work:

# ./getssl -w /opt/getssl/conf -a
Check all certificates
domain.tld: no certificate obtained from host
creating account key /opt/getssl/conf/account.key
creating domain key - /opt/getssl/conf/account.key

Just to be sure, I use the latest version (2.05) and CentOS 6.8 (Final).

hmm, thanks - can you email me your getssl.cfg file, and if you run it with debug (-d) can you send me that output as well please.

getssl at serverco.com

Thanks, This error is because the functions used are only available in bash v4.2-alpha and more recently (and you are using an older version). Since bash 4.2-alpha was released in Feb 2011 my instinctive reaction is to just add a warning for users of bash < 4.2 that they will be some errors. This looks to be mainly related to EC certs, which probably wouldn't be supported on older systems anyway ( since they require functionality more recent than Feb 2011).
