This is *not* our update mechanism. This is update-ca-certificates, which will wipe /etc/ssl/certs/ when it is called. This can happen to you on any distro using it. My recommendation is to use /etc/ssl/private/ for all service related files. Certs and keys. HTH darix -- openSUSE - SUSE Linux is my linux openSUSE is good for you www.opensuse.org
