Title:
  wording on openssl csr request very poor

Status in “openssl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openssl

  when generating a new request you are prompted for

  Common Name (eg, YOUR name) []:

  I just had a junior admin fill this in with his name, this a mistake
  that could be avoided by simply getting this changed to something like

  Common Name (eg, YOUR SERVER HOSTNAME) []:

  The exact text could use some work, but putting something in there to
  point it to the server rather than the person would be a very nice.

  Would have saved me about $385 as I got the nonsense cert signed.
