Someone asked about ssl client cert auth recently.  I got
this to work, but something tripped me up.

http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/ssl-tcp.html

states (very clearly, btw) that, "To require the client to supply a
trusted certificate, place certificates of the certificate authorities
(CAs) you trust in the file root.crt in the data directory."  I had
ASS-U-MEd that root.crt would go in .postgresql as it does for encryption.

This begs the question, why two copies of the same file?
