everything seems fine so far...
tested in just shy of a dozen ssl sites...
(still no dice for RapidShare, d@mn dead horse just won't die already!...)

my newly rolled certs went up from 416 KB to 516 KB...
removed the one you cited a few posts up...
still have not compared with the 560 KB from 1/2/2012...

still rolled in Win98SE...
had to search high and low for a rootsupd.exe for Win98SE, lol...
a SYMANTEC site linking to a MICROSOFT ~~v4-update~~ v3-update download was the only way i could find it...

have noticed, and it's probably been doing this all along, but when i drag the certs.pem into NOTEPAD, Win98SE closes NOTEPAD and opens in WORDPAD instead... just an observation...

i'll likely test again in Win2k later on (Win98SE "virtual machines" are kind of a major pain, i can't "share" files to the 'host' [WinXP 32-bit] and i have to Gmail files back and forth, lol)...

my "readings" indicate that i should 'roll' in VISTA (or higher), that Vista's (or higher) "root certificates" are INTENTIONALLY downsized for "efficiency" over the size of "before Vista"... have not looked into that further yet...

a Win2k roll rings in at 502 KB...
seems to be working just fine (minus the "dead horse")...

i'm going to stick with the Win2k roll for a few days...

a WinXP roll is sitting at 561 KB - i'd say "i'm there", lol...

the rootsupd.exe really was the ticket...
my windows update reported that i *WAS* up-to-date, but running that rootsupd.exe yielded DIFFERENT RESULTS for a rolled .pem...

my Win98SE and Win2k rootsupd.exe is 376 KB while my WinXP rootsupd.exe is 369 KB, yet both say version 6.0.2600.0, so who knows on that...

at any rate, i set out to roll a 560 KB as an indication that i'm doing it correctly... off by one tells me "i'm there", lol...

(yeah, i was "hoping" it would solve the d@mn RapidShare nag-screen-pos, but oh well...)

scratch that, the WinXP roll "fails" on sites (ShareBuilder, once i found "one" site that failed, i reverted to my most recent "worked" version) where the Win2k roll "works", so i'm sticking with it for "my" .pem...

still haven't compared any of them side-by-side (most likely won't, to be honest, would have if i could have stumbled upon the RapidShare "fix")...
