I'm sorry, but I know that for non-technical users and sc students it  
is absolutely a problem, as is the futzing around with certificates.  
It keeps people from just using something that's supposed to make  
there lives easier.

IAC, why have that hassle if you could avoid it? If you explain this  
situation to someone learning quarks and sc they'll ask: Why should I  
have to do that? Can't they make it so it just works?
