To be honest, I don't know whether you could run it purely from the command 
line without a config file as there are many configuration options needed to 
operate openssl as a CA.  Saying that, defaults values may work for many of 
those.

Instead, I use a simple bash script (which I don't have to hand I'm afraid - 
at work) which uses a heredoc to echo a configuration to a temp file which is 
then used with the openssl ca command, before being deleted afterwards.

If you're interested, I can dig it out later.
