     Okay.  I downloaded entrust_ssl_ca.der (the man page for wget(1) says
it wants DER or PEM format for certificates) and put it into
/usr/local/openssl/certs with 644 permissions.  When trying for the new tor
development branch version, I get:

     I guess the only thing to do is to use the --no-check-certificate option
and then hope there's no MITM.  :-(
