We have a "security certificate" with "Thawte Communications" which doesn't expire until February of 2008. However, apparently each BROWSER also has a certificate which can expire. If you have version 3 of Netscape, for instance, anytime you try to go to a secure page that uses "Thawte" for its security, you will be told that the security certificate has expired. If you want to fix this little annoyance, you need to go to http://www.thawte.com/certs/server/rollover.html It takes a couple minutes, and as near as I can tell, doesn't affect anything else.

In case you are wondering what this is all about, in order to get a "security certificate" from Thawte, I had to prove to them that I have a real address, and that I'm a real business, and give some references. It doesn't guarantee that I won't cheat you, or that I won't go out of business, but it does give you some assurance that I'm not a total fly-by-night flake. So it might be worth your while to get that certificate "renewed" or upgrade to Netscape 4.0.
