Hi,

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

http://docs.mandragor.org/files/Misc/Mozilla_applications_en/mozilla-chp-12-sect-5.html

That document appears to be a copy of the original chapter 12 of the O'Reilly book "Creating Applications with Mozilla", which was first published on the web at http://books.mozdev.org/chapters/index.html

The original copy of the page you cited is at http://books.mozdev.org/html/mozilla-chp-12-sect-5.html

The author of sections 5 and 6 of chapter 12 later wrote:

ATTENTION BOOK READERS:

The section of Chapter 12, Certificate Authorities and Digital Signatures has some fundamental flaws in the design of a Certificate Authority.
Using the information in this section cannot result in a legitimate and
working Certificate Authority for signed remote Mozilla applications.

See the rest of his statement for yourself at http://certs.mozdev.org/
