So things are good with an explicit path to the CA bundle. 

Are the
"[ ca ]" and " [ CA_default ]" sections in /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
correct? Is the geosoft.crt file included in the file pointed to by
"certificate =" in CA_default? (On my F17 systems that is cacert.pem,
which is a slink to /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt)

Try handing curl
the CA cert for your internal CA: 

curl -v --cacert
path_to_your_CA_cert.pem https://server.domain.com [12]

I think there might be a bug
in OpenSSL in this build of Fedora 18 (which I have updated.) I ran the
command you gave me and I'm getting this:

CONNECTED(00000003)
write:errno=104
---
no peer certificate available
---
No
client certificate CA names sent
---
SSL handshake has read 0
bytes and written 172 bytes
---
New, (NONE), Cipher is (NONE)
Secure Renegotiation IS NOT supported
Compression: NONE
Expansion:
NONE
---

Which is suggesting that there isn't an SSL
certificate there. Yet when I curl the location:

curl: (60)
Peer's Certificate issuer is not recognized.
More details here:
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html [1]
curl performs SSL
certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate
Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file
isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert
option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA
represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably
failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or
the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd
like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k
(or --insecure) option.
Would this be everyone elses conclusion
as well?

I just upgraded to Fedora 18, and now servers that

our internal CA is failing. The http test simply
shows "SSL error"
meanwhile our public (GoDaddy) certs aren't
causing issues. Is there a
log file I can peer into to find out why
I'm getting these error
messages all of a sudden?
No
logfile, but try running "openssl s_client -connect IPADDRESS:PORT".
This performs a connect and SSL handshake, which is basically the same
as what Xymon does.
I suppose the standard openssl.cnf is used by
OpenSSL when Xymon uses the SSL libraries. Perhaps some defaults changed
in relation to how openssl performs automatic certificate validation ?
Would surprise me, though.
