Longer term, I think we really want a more formal certificate management
system, with a defined interface for installing a certificate on the
system (or for a specific user), removing certificates, granting access
to certain certificates to particular daemons, creating a new CA, etc.
And most importantly, get every application to use it. Right now it's
just crazy with applications dropping certificates in any random place
with ad-hoc access controls, and applications not using the same
verification chains.
A first step at this could be a utility like install-certificate that
just dropped certs into a well-defined directory in /etc.
Sounds like the certificate stuff redhat bought from Netscape would
fit the bill quite nicely when they finish all the various stuff
required to release it.
