Depends what you're going to use them for. If you're using them internally,
you can set your CA as a trusted root in your browsers, but if you want to
use them on the net, you can't guarantee the issuer will be trusted by your
clients. They'll get a warning box about that, but the SSL transactions will
still work as long as they hit OK to trust...
