This just sounds interesting as an idea.  So I'm sharing.
(I don't expect that y'all will be heading to the Apple store
in NYC ;)

OK- I realize that this is cross posting, etc, etc, etc.  However, for  
those of you that aren't familar w/ CACert, you should be.  Who uses  
self signed certs?  This will let get you *real* certs, and possibly be  
able to help issue others.  Look it up online.  Next monday ( july 5)  
at the apple store in SoHo.
