I'll post here since I don't encounter this problem in other distributions (which I run in virtual machines). Problem occurs when I open this URL in a browser (tried mostly in Chromium, also in Firefox and Konqueror): https://www.sixxs.net/ Most of the time the browser says that certificate is not trusted (chain verification fails). It is signed by CAcert which is present in Gentoo and enabled in browsers by default. No such problem happens with https://bugs.gentoo.org which is signed by the same authority. The certificate 100% valid (I compared its fingerprint with Chromium on another Linux distribution, Chakra, which says it's valid). Sometimes the certificate passes validation, I figured out that I can force it by adding the host's IPv4 address to /etc/hosts or enabling "Check for server certificate revocation" checkbox in Chromium and clearing the cache and restarting it, but it does not work all of the time, so I can't guarantree that these are the trigger conditions. Date/time is correct on my PC. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch Chromium 2. Go to https://www.sixxs.net/home/ Portage 2.2.0_alpha191 (default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/kde, gcc-4.7.3, glibc-2.17, 3.9.11-gentoo-r1melf x86_64)

You should probably tell your browser to import /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt . I have tested this with www-client/opera and www-client/firefox-bin, and neither accept CA Cert by default
I have tested with an empty $HOME. All websites signed by CAcert are accepted in www-client/chromium and www-client/firefox. Those include https://bugs.gentoo.org (signed by "CAcert Class 3 Root" and my own websites signed by "CA Cert Signing Authority"). I can open authorities list window and confirm this. The only problem is https://www.sixxs.net. But right now https://www.sixxs.net passes verification. When it breaks later, I'll try importing certificates.crt, alright :)

Firefox/Chromium only work due to the fact we have patched nss to include the CAcert. If you are having issues you will need to debug nss to locate the break down.
I can't reproduce it anymore in Chromium or FF. Konqueror says "Trusted" but doesn't show the whole chain (only "www.sixxs.net" 2 times for old and new cert). With bugs.gentoo.org it shows full chain.
