Will there be still a trust problem
A signs B that signs C
User X trust A and receives C, is C trusted too?
If B expires, but C dates are still ok, and I renew B (with which opennssl command by the way) is C still valid or do I have to renew C too?
Cheers.

No. These certificates are not intended to sign any other entity. If you order a standard certificate, you definitely won't have a CA certificate. :) > What happens when the certificate expires, how to renew it without > having to renew other certificates? When your own certificate expires, you only need to renew it. What else would you like to renew?
