You (or your clients) will need to manually install the certificate on any machine that they use to connect to your server. If they don't, and just choose to ignore the warnings, then what is the point of using a certificate? However, if manually installing certificates on client machines isn't a problem, then there's no reason to shell out money for a commercial certificate (which can be as little as $30 a year). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
