Fedora directory users - Jun 2007 - root certificate for use with startconsole

How can I import the root certificate into my keystore used for startconsole?  I
would like to put it into my ~/.fedora-console/*db files.  I''m assuming
if I do so, that I won''t need to accept new certificates that were
issued by that root authority (they''ll be automatically trusted).

I would like to do this under both Linux and Windows.  If I need to use the
utilities under Linux, should I be able to copy the resulting *db files to my
Windows machine for use with the java console there?  Or would the format be
wrong?

Thanks,
  MJD

You should be able to use the certutil program, with a -d 
~/.fedora-console argument, and no -P argument.  See

The format is supposed to be platform and architecture independent.  So 
you should be able to just copy them to Windows.  Make sure you set 
binmode on in your Windows file transfer utilities so it won''t try to 
convert \n to \r\n when copying the files to Windows.
