Title: bogus digital certificate causing problems with Mozilla, Konqueror, but not Netscape

Just starting out with Linux. I have a system that was installed with 7.1 and then shortly after upgraded to 7.3.

I started configuring basic things such as Apache and Samba and immediately ran into a strange problem:

Apache starts up fine, but if I try to access the default test page from the host system using Mozilla, I get the error message

        401.2 Unauthorized: Logon Failed due to server configuration

If I try from Kongueror, I get the error message

        An error occurred while loading http://linux00
        Unknown Authorization method!

Netscape works fine without any error.

If I try to launch SWAT, I get similar behavior.

Now here is where it gets really weird. From a Win2k machine on the same network, I can launch SWAT and access the test web page using IE 5.5; however, it complains about a problem with a digital certificate name. I can just accept it and everything is fine. The message claims I have a certificate created by localhost.localdomain.

Any idea what is going on here and how to correct it?
