I am doing some verifying with openssl on a chain of certs with a
(versign) root CA and all other certs in the CApath directory and it was
giving me a "OKs".  A little stracing showed me that openssl was using
the versign root in the openssl ca bundle and not my versign root in my
CApath directory. So even if I removed the versign root from my CApath
directory it would still verify OK.

As my purpose is to verify against a single set of certs (not two sets
of certs) this behavior is annoying. I can just delete the openssl ca
bundle and get the behavior I want but what else will this break on the
machine. I can't seem to find a cmdline switch or environment variable
to stop it's ca bundle.

Any ideas.
