First off, thank you Ben, Travis, and Bob for responding - I'll give
your suggestions a try.  Have I mentioned recently that I love the linux
community?  8)

I'm curious about your comment here.  I agree that M$ did something
right in that they gave the user the notification that the certificate
chain didn't end at a known good cert authority.  However, it seems to
me like they should give the user the ability to accept the certificate
anyway.

Are you saying that M$ was right in *not* allowing that?  If so, how
come?
