[openssl-dev] [openssl.org #3876] [PATCH] Do not complain if config file not found

[Blumenthal, Uri - 0553 - MITLL via RT]

Todd, I agree. Have the warning only where it matters (but have it there).

The parameters in the configuration file, in general, apply only to certificate operations. The openssl application does way more than certificate operations, and seeing a warning for a configuration file that has no impact on the operation being performed is annoying. Rather than completely remove the warning, I would instead suggest that the warning only be issued for certain commands that may use parameters from the configuration file.

If I want and expect openssl to use a config file, and it did not find it - it's darn useful for me to be informed of that fact by openssl.

Because it goes ahead and proceeds. Not it is explicit testing ENOTFOUND.
It should either error+exit or not complain.

I can be convinced the current behavior is useful.
