This is disturbing. We need to be able to sign our own certificates for 
this purpose, otherwise we're going to need to find or set up a 
certificate authority chain for our certificates. Can you provide more 
info about your system and which version of nss-tools is on it. Also the 
version of certutil and signtool?

Also disturbing. I had been led to believe that nss and nss-tools were 
ubiquitous.
