Hi,

I'm trying to resolve the examples on Mandragor.org [1] w/r/t
establishing CA certificates.

What's the signficance of the two "inadequate" warnings in the following
example?

After the first step, "Creating a root certificate", the command
"signtool -d CA -L -k mozdev.org" gives the following result:

certificate directory: CA

S Certificates
- ------------
  mozdev.org
- ------------
Certificates that can be used to sign objects have *'s to their left.

The certificate with nickname "mozdev.org" was found:
        subject name: CN=mozdev.org,O=mozdev.org
        issuer name: CN=mozdev.org,O=mozdev.org

This certificate is not expired.
This certificate is valid.
mozdev.org:
        inadequate key usage
mozdev.org:
        inadequate certificate type

What's the signficance of the two "inadequate" warnings?
