[nycbug-talk] Root certificates on OS X...

[Queco Jones]

A friend recently told me about http://cacert.org and said I should
download/install the root certificate.  I went to the site and it says
that it works with IE.  So I started p IE and tried it, but I got a
pop up asking me for a passprase or something and clicked the cancel
button.  I talked to my friend and later, when I tried it again, I got
a pop saying that the certificate wasn't valid.  Now I'm wondering if
I did something to mess it all up...

The reason I was interested in it is because when I get an email from
my friend, Mail.app displays a message saying that it's "unable to
verify message signature."

I have GPG and the GPGMail plug-in installed, but my friend says that
it won't work until I get the root certificate installed.  My question
is, can anybody point me to documentation that explains just how to go
about doing this?

I also wonder if it can't be done with Safari instead of IE...

Any suggestions?
