Is it possible and advisable to make a SASL certificate valid for all
IRC networks?

Different IRC networks suggest different procedures for the creation
of a SASL certificate, for example
[Freenode](https://freenode.net/kb/answer/certfp) and
[OFTC](https://www.oftc.net/NickServ/CertFP/#creating-a-self-signed-
certificate).

Is it good practice to have a separate cert for each network, or can
one use the same cert for all networks? If so, what's the correct
syntax?

Thanks.

Using one everywhere means you can use it to verify your identity
across networks.

When it comes to openssl command arguments, both should work. I'd
suggest reading the manual page before blindly running commands. That
said, at least 2048 bits is probably a good idea.
