If TSS have a hard time buying a cert for whatever reason, which was, I
think, the original point for the conversation in the first place, then
it was pointed out that there are alternative ways of accomplishing the
same (ie secure logins to the ydl.net site) which do not involve money
changing hands.

This was in no way meant to imply anything about the relative easiness-
to-use of those methods.
