ca_root_nss is just a list of Certification Authority certificates,
which OpenSSL will trust by default.  It's derived from the list of
certificates that is built into Firefox for the same purpose.

'Trust' in this sense means that you're trusting the CA to verify that
the identity they've signed a certificate for is legitimately the
property of the people requesting it.  Various CAs have been expelled
from that list over time, due to incompetence or because they were found
to be the tools of a repressive regime, so it's important to keep
ca-root_nss up to date.

	Cheers,
