How to get OS X to accept an SSL Cert the way other UNIX clients do?

I'm hoping some of the network gurus can suggest a solution for me. My current config is 10.5.4 on PPC.
I have a host that I need to connect to using SSL but their certificate has a host name mismatch (they are a small org, and can't afford another SSL cert for the moment). I know the cert is valid, so I'm not worried about the security implications of using it.
On other *NIX clients, I simply have to add the cert into the root chain (e.g. /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt), restart the application, and all apps will then accept it as valid.
On OS X, I've imported the cert into Keychain Access, marked it as "Always Trusted" and set up a policy to "alias" it to the URL I need to access with my application (not a web browser) (ref: KB article: HT1679) in both the login and the System keychains, yet the client application still errors out and refuses to connect to the URL.
How can I configure client SSL on OS X to work like other UNIX configurations? There doesn't seem to be a way to override the extremely restricted behavior.
I have MacPorts installed and am open to an application specific "hack" if necessary, ala "LDLIBRARYPATH", if anyone thinks that's feasible (which is what I am looking at now). Conceivably I could recompile the client application since it's OSS, though I'd rather avoid that if possible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance--

when you connect with a web browser to an https site that has a mistmatched cert it warns you and you have to tell the browser to ignore the security issue to let you carry on.
what unix apps are you using to connect to this server?

You can use a scanner to get user input from the command line.
import java.util.*;
public class Test {
    private List<Integer> list;
    private Scanner in;
    public static void main (String... args) {
        new Test ();
    public Test () {
        list = new LinkedList<Integer> ();
        in = new Scanner (System.in);
        for (int i = 0; i < 5; i ++) {
            System.out.format ("Please enter a number (%d more): ", (5 - i));
            list.add (in.nextInt ());
        Collections.sort(list, new Comparator<Integer> () {
            public int compare (Integer i1, Integer i2) {
                return i2 - i1;
        System.out.println (list);

The App store is a iOS function and cannot be deleted. Try checking other home screens/folders and see if you can locate it. If not, go into Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

HT4962 how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

how i get ios 5 on my ipod 3g becuase the version is too old 4.2.1

Very likely since yu really have a 2G iPod. Those only go to 4.2.1. If your is an 8 or 16 GB one it is a 2G since Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. A 32 GB one can be either. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_late2009
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

Final cut pro X is supposed to accept AVI. Yet the AVI files my client gave me don't work. I know there are softwares that can convert AVI to APPLE PRORES, but does that affect the quality of the media ?

Final cut pro X is supposed to accept AVI. However the AVI files my client gave me cannot be imported in my Final cut pro X. I know there are softwares that can convert AVI to APPLE PRO RES, but does that alter the quality of the media ?

There are apps that will give you tech specs on files. I think Media Info is one. Most likely it's in done delivery codec like DiVX. AVI is a piece of **** as a container anyway and should have been completely abandoned years ago.
