After digging more into this problem, I found the old subject is
misleading, so I change it, please refer to "incompatible cert7.db and
key3.db for Mozilla and Communicator" thread for the history.


OK, I got to tackle this since there is no other way out for me :(


environment: 
Red Hat Linux 7.3 Kernel 2.4.18 
nss-3.6 
nspr-4.2.2
openssl 0.9.6g


This is the output of signtool -L
loren@home:~/nss/nss-3.6/bin$ ./signtool -d . -L
using certificate directory: .

S Certificates
- ------------
  Test Root CA - Test Company
* Test User One
- ------------
Certificates that can be used to sign objects have *'s to their left.


The -l gave following output:

loren@home:~/nss/nss-3.6/bin$ ./signtool -d . -l
using certificate directory: .

Object signing certificates
---------------------------------------
Test User One
    Issued by: Test Root CA - Test Company (Test Root CA)
    Expires: Tue Oct 28, 2003
Assertion failure: 0, at certvfy.c:1483
Aborted

using gdb, and run signtool -l again, its stack trace shows that the
PORT_Assertion is failed at the default clause of the switch
(certUsage) block of the function CERT_VerifyCert(), where the value
of certUsage is certUsageAnyCA, however, I did add an object signing
CA extension as nsCertType for the CA cert, and check the trust
settings for identifying software makers only in Mozilla, but I don't
know where the certUsageAnyCA in the trust flag comes from. So, the
problem is, why the certUsageAnyCA and how can I get over the
PORT_Assertion?

Any hint is greatly appreciated.



PS. Using certutil -L -n to dump the certs:
