[pubcookie-users] keyclient reports "self signed certificate in certificate chain"

Hi all,

I'm a PubCookie newbie, so please be gentle... :-)

I'm trying to set up a PubCookie Apache module to connect to an  
existing PubCookie server, but I'm having problems getting the  
keyclient working with my cert.  I've got a signed cert from Thawte  
and their root CA, both referenced from the config file.  When I  
run ./keyclient (as root), I get this:

# ./keyclient
verify error:num=19:self signed certificate in certificate chain
6757:error:14090086:SSL  
routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify  
failed:s3_clnt.c:844:


But when I test the validity of the cert, it comes back OK:
# openssl verify -CAfile ca-bundle.crt site.crt
site.crt: OK

I've also tested that my cert and key file match:
# openssl x509 -noout -modulus -in site.crt | openssl md5
7376ff2cc099727883a4bdb733e6e628

# openssl rsa -noout -modulus -in site.key | openssl md5
7376ff2cc099727883a4bdb733e6e628


Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?
