Description Tomas Hoger 2011-08-30 09:49:52 UTC
Description of problem:
ncat uses its own bundled certificate bundle (/usr/share/ncat/ca-bundle.crt) by default.  We should review how it differs from the ca-certificte's bundle and see if it really needs to be distributed in nmap packages, or we can make ncat default to using ca-certificate's bundle (via symlink or different compiled-in path).

Diff of ncat bundle to system bundle

This compares subjects of CA certs in ncat ca-bundle.crt to ca-bundle.crt from ca-certificates-2011.75-1.fc16 (which builds the certificate list from Mozilla's / NSS's certdata).

Out of more than 100 certs in ncat bundle, more than 30 are already expired.
