SSL root certificate.

[peasthope@shaw.ca]

man openvpn has,
"--ca file
 Certificate authority (CA) file in .pem format, also referred to
 as  the  root certificate. ... 
 openssl req ... -out ca.crt"

Whereas http://wiki.debian.org/Self-Signed_Certificate has 
"openssl req ... -out /etc/ssl/localcerts/apache.pem ..."

In the openvpn example, ca.crt will be signed by an authority 
to create ca.pem?  Seems legitimate for this detail to be 
explicit in the maual.

Thanks,                  ... Peter E.
