I have an automated root CA, intermediate, and server cert generation process here:
https://github.com/rahvee/MonoSslStreamServerBug/blob/master/certs/junkca.sh

If you want to actually use something like this, you don't need the intermediate.  You should also review all the commands and pay attention to what you're doing; I took several shortcuts because this script was intended only for creating a junk CA for use in another test.
