Are any intermediate CA certificates involved?

No. The CA is home-made, created using OpenSSL. It has a self-signed 
certificate.

This command will dump all certificates received:

openssl s_client -connect hostname:portnum -showcerts

        [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ openssl s_client -connect my.server.address:5432 
-showcerts
        CONNECTED(00000003)
        4386:error:140790E5:SSL routines:SSL23_WRITE:ssl handshake 
failure:s23_lib.c:188:

If you split them into files and try:

openssl x509 -in cert.pem -dates -noout

Can't try this right now...

As for the dates, I store all my certificates with the human-readable preamble 
(the -text option used with x509). Dates are OK in all of them. I dumped them 
again and got the same result.

This is what I tried next:

        [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ openssl s_client -debug -connect 
my.server.address:5432 -showcerts
        CONNECTED(00000003)

A local IP connection directly on the server fails the same way, too. (Non-SSL 
IP connections to the database do work, however.)

What should I try now? If you want me to carry out further experiments, just 
let me know.
