For lynx, it seems to accept every certificate without asking.
For Netscape Navigator, the simplest solution is to let the users reply "Yes"
to all the questions asked interactively when encountering for the first time
the new certificate. Then, the certificate is OK for them (you can display it
and edit its characteristics via the Security window, click on the little key
at the bottom). It's certainly an issue in monkey^H^H^H^H^H^Huser support
("Where should I click?").
For power and paranoid users, you can send the fingerprint via a secure
channel so they can check. You deprive Verisign of some money but it wasn't an
issue for me :-)
For MSIE, I do not know, but people working in a non-profit society certainly
not use M$IE :-)
