I'm using 'openssl verify -CApath /something/cert CERT_TO_VERIFY' to
verify certificate chains. 
I just found out that some certificates are positively verified even if
I do not provide argument '-CApath /something/cert'. Root cause of such
behavior is the fact that openssl uses certificates in /etc/ssl/certs in
order look for certificates. Is it possible to disable this lookup?
I already tried to set OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null, but after I found out
that it can only be used to specify alternative location for
openssl.cnf, which is also weird for me. Do you know why 'openssl
verify' looks in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf? I mean - what exactly it tries to
find in this file?
