About SSL
---------

SSL validation requires a directory that contains any number of certificates
from trusted certification authorities. Change to that directory, run
c_rehash there (included with OpenSSL) and specify the name of that 
directory as the ssl_CApath option. 

On Debian systems, the default /etc/ssl/certs is a great starting point. You 
don't even need to issue c_rehash there.
