Re: [Phys-l] Safari Can't Identify "carnot.physics.buffalo.edu"

["Dr. Richard Tarara" <rtarara@saintmarys.edu>]

I get this for my school site when accesses from home.  It is a question of 
the web manager not updating the certificates that are used to identify web 
sites as legitimate--so it is really up to the owner of the site to keep the 
certificates up to date.  HOWEVER, just go ahead and choose to view the site 
anyway--I think you can trust that carnot.physics.buffalo.edu is not going 
to steal your identity!
