Openssl tutorial

Can anyone recommend a good openssl tutorial? man pages offer little help. Its alittle confusing with all the ways to create keys, CSR. (e.g. openssl genrsa/gendsa/req and all other options) Can someone point me in the right direction? thanks.

http://sial.org/howto/openssl/ gives good step-by-step descriptions and basic explanations.
