So, a little issue I see a lot is that SSL cert files seem to go
everywhere. I may see some under /var/shared/ssl/certs/, some under
application-specific directories (e.g., /etc/httpd/conf/ssl.*/,
/etc/ldap/), etc.

What are your thoughts on:

1. Putting all certs under a standardized location, e.g.,
/usr/shared/ssl/certs/, and then just chown'ing and chmod'ing them for a
little more security.

2. Keeping them in application-specific areas.

Also, how are you keeping track of cert expiration? We usually get
emails from the SSL cert vendor about renewals, but..
