quick fetchmail question

quick fetchmail question

[Tyler Littlefield]

Hello list,
I've got a question--I configured fetchmail in my .fetchmailrc file, and am running fetchmail.
I get:
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to get local issuer certificate
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: certificate not trusted
fetchmail: Server certificate verification error: unable to verify the first certificate 
Is there any way I can download the cert and trust it? It's a dreamhost box that I'm trying to get the cert for, but I'll need to do the same for google, too.

Thanks,
Tyler Littlefield

I could be wrong here, but since you're running debian I think, have a
look at the update-ca-certificates(8) man page. I'm not sure if that
will do what you want, but it might.

You'll need to add the following to your ~/.fetchmailrc file
sslcertpath /etc/ssl/certs

The above is for a Debian system. The path of the directory containing CA
certificates for various certification authorities may be different on your
distribution.

See the fetchmail manual page for further details.

hrm. I don't know if I have their cert downloaded, which is really what I 
was working on trying to find, but the path does help, thanks
