Hmm... I don't have that directory. Will it automatically be 
recognized (by Lynx, Firefox, etc), or do I have to somehow 
advertise/register that as the repository?

I just downloaded something called "cacert.crt" and have no idea what 
to do with it. <g>

/me googles.

Hmm. For OS X 
<http://www.dublan.net/Notes/Archives/2003/December/08_Monday/> says 
to put it in ~/Library/Keychains/ and run the following:
cd ~/Library/Keychains
cp /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors .
certtool i cacert.crt k=X509Anchors
sudo cp X509Anchors /System/Library/Keychains/X509Anchors

So, 'certtool' sounds like the key (no pun intended, amazingly). Of 
course when I try 'man certtool' I get nada. Oooh, MacOSXHints has an 
interesting article at 
<http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20031023144031331> 
which leads to a CerttoolGUI program. ::downloading::

Do I use certtool on FreeBSD too? How will Lynx know I got cacert.crt, etc.?

thanks,
