The OP should try 1.1.0-dev (master built from source) and see
whether it behaves differently. What I see is that most of the
commands that don't explicitly need configuration data quietly
ignore a missing default configuration file.
In master (1.1.0-dev), only commands like "openssl req" that want
various subject DN prompts, ... complain when there's no configuration
file. And "req" has a "-config" argument that makes that go away.
So in 1.0.2: I get
$ OpenSSL_1_0_2/bin/openssl version
WARNING: can't open config file: .../OpenSSL_1_0_2/ssl/openssl.cnf
OpenSSL 1.0.2g-dev xx XXX xxxx
But master (1.1.0-dev) is silent:
$ mv OpenSSL_master/ssl/openssl.cnf{,.hide}
$ OpenSSL_master/bin/openssl version
OpenSSL 1.1.0-pre3-dev xx XXX xxxx
$ mv OpenSSL_master/ssl/openssl.cnf{.hide,}
So the issue is addressed in 1.1.0. Since the warnings have been
with us since at least the initial 1.0.2 release, and are not new
with 1.0.2f, they're likely to stay for now.
