[Macpartners] Rebuild System Keychain?

[Albert Willis]

Matthew--

we've documented how to import the MIT certificate authority into the 
X509Anchors keychain at http://itinfo.mit.edu/article?id=6667.

The short description is that every user has a default keychain in 
their home directory (is ~/Library/Keychains). For accounts that were 
created on Mac OS X 10.3, it's called login.keychain. For accounts 
created on Mac OS X 10.2, the default keychain name is the same as that 
user's short name.

So, your keychains are in your home directory. The other keychains 
belong to the system.

Once you import the MIT CA into the X509Anchors keychain, you shouldn't 
have to configure anything else. Let us know if you have further 
questions.
